Our first spring/summer in Wyoming has been enjoyable to say the least. In between house-hunting, work, and three needy dogs and kids. (That's right, we got another dog.The new one is a work dog that'll be trained to track and hunt predators with me. For now, she's just a loopy puppy), we've stayed plenty busy. So here is my shameless post with no words, just pictures, and the only excuse I have is that time, precious time, has been limited. Here have been some of our adventurers in the past couple months.
 |
| We'll start with a spring high country pic. The shed hunting was great for my first year learning the area. I, along with the dogs, Emily, and Hunter picked up a couple good piles and both Wyoming elk and deer. |
 |
| Brown Gold at the end of the rainbow!! |
 |
| Mac found this set all by himself. The most embarrassing part is I just walked alongside it before he discovered them...Good dog... |
 |
| Did I mention Mac also found the first brown of the year? This big 5-point. Yup. |
