Summer explorations and moose hunting...

In true "adult" fashion - here I am finally posting pictures of my moose hunting adventures from this past July with [MENTION=118909]MTgirl[/MENTION] . She kindly let me tag along as we wandered around a branch of the Rockies, looking for moose to photograph. We were rewarded with a rare few, but it took some searching!

With a special thank you / shoutout to MTgirl, I present:

Northern Bighorns and Pryor Mountain areas??

smallfry! Good to see you! Yes, right on the mark, sir. Was a blast to just enjoy the green and drive around. Hit up some spots I had always wanted to, so that didn't hurt either. How's the 5th gen?

I thought some of those areas looked familiar. I miss exploring up there. I like the 5th gen but I miss my 3rd gen.

'bout time you got some pictures up, FJ! It was certainly a good trip - I could have gone for a few more mooses but we didn't do too bad considering how busy it was up there.

Glad I had you with me, I know I explored a lot more roads with you than I would have done on my own. We shall do more exploring next summer!

Very cool pictures man. Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons are honestly the most amazing places Ive ever seen. You get the nicer part of the state up there! Although we have some decent peaks in the snowy range mountains down here in south east WY. Any snow in your area yet? We're in the low 70s today

[powder day!]

Been a very long time since I've had a substantial off road adventure... Got a snowstorm, the first I've experienced since moving to the Appalachians, and so I drove around and explored - some icy pavement and some snowy dirt roads.

Nothing too exciting, just a lot of 4HI and chasing ATV tracks with a capable truck. BFGs are great in the snow - better than I thought once I stopped expecting dry-pavement performance on ice.

Younger but definitely not better looking!

 

[farmerjon]

You have turned out wonderful pictures!

Thank you for taking the time to enjoy them, I appreciate it! Still have this beast and still tickin' adventures!
