Just got back from Wyoming.

[Mike]

Had an awesome trip.

Left two weeks ago headed to Jackson, WY to do some snowmobiling, skiing, and snowboarding. My friend, his wife, and I embarked on our 30 hour trip out.

Had a blast. It was absolutely beautiful out there. We got in right before we got 5ft of snow. Rocked our faces off. We also got to go the National Elk Refuge right there outside of Jackson. Very cool, lots of wildlife to see.

Bighorn Sheep, Elk, Bison, Moose, coyote, wolves.

Once we were through in Jackson, it was on to our next stop.

We were invited to the Big Horn Ranch in Exeter, MO. We went to hunt Red Stag. They were clearing them off the ranch and wanted us to shoot several of the females(hinds). After a few days of seeing nothing but Whitetail we found them. I ended up shooting a 230lb hind. My Friend got two Sika, which they were also clearing off the ranch, and his wife shot one Sika.

Some pictures of our trip.

Total BASTARD!

[Mike]

Heh, I had to make it count. I just used all my vacation time for the entire year.

[Guest jackdm3]

Well, you did that well. Most of us squander.

EDIT: It's estimated that it takes 2 weeks to actually unwind, whereas others only take a week off and wonder where the time went, not feeling any better really. You gotta be feeling better.

I feel great. It was the trip of a lifetime made even better by the company I had.

Great Trip......I was out there for a week last summer running a few rivers that snaked between Colorado and Wyoming. I would love to go back out during the winter....maybe next year.

Nice pics, I'm jealous, that is some DEEEEPPPPP snow!

[Mike]

It was really deep. We dug ourselves out quite a few times when we got stuck.

[Krull]

Did you go to the Mangy Moose Saloon?????

[Almond27]

Looks like an awesome trip I am jealous! What did you use to kill your Sika if you don't mind me asking I'm always curious what caliber people use and at what range did you take it.

[Guest Jcochran88]

Looks like you had a good time, did you have a freezer big enough for all that elk if not I might know some one!

[Mike]

He shot it with a Mossberg .270.

I shot my red deer with a Savage .308
