A walk in the woods…

Chris Awe

Last Sunday my wife Annie, our 2 dogs, and myself climbed into an area we hoped would be holding some wintering-elk.  Curious if any of the big bulls had started to drop their antlers, we picked our way through cliff bands and timber in search of. 

After watching 2 wolves hunt their way along an adjacent ridgline; we were stoked to see (antlered) elk, deer, moose, and a couple bald eagles.  -sweet!  On our way back to the truck, we snapped a couple photos of some Bighorns. 

Here’s a few pics…

    close… just south of H.L., but diagonally adjacent to the SW Ridge of the peak (you know which one). From there; about 2.34 miles (as the crow flys) to that HUGE burn(the one w/ ancient hieroglyphics). Then yea, between the T.R., W.C., and B.S. drainages… and everything to the west. FULL of animals!! Good eye! :)

    While you enjoyed your walk in woods did you consider wonder what impact your having on the wintering game? Spring is a critical time of year! Not trying to put the damper on your outting just a gentle remimder.

    you bet! And i’m glad you raise the point. Coming off of a hard winter; the animals can certainly use all the rest and reinforcement they can get. Your comment is an excellent one. Thanks!.
