These are from a solo hunt I went on in 2008. I can't wait to get back into that country!

I love the high country.
Montana....

 

Wyoming...

 

Colorado.....

 

Utah.....

 

Arizona....

 

I'm hoping to get back to the high country of Wyoming this fall.  Good hunting to all.

These were taken way back when in the early 80s.  All shots from Montana.

You definitely should.  It might ruin you, though.  You might be affected like so many others -- nothing else will ever compare to the big mountains.  It's a feast for the eyes and nourishment for the soul.

I feel so lucky to have been there, some fantastic pics on this thread. Threads like this keep the passion burning bright.:-)


There doesn't seem to be as much beetle damage in Idaho as there is in Colorado.


   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   
Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.

There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.
