For sure. Love it out there. Good luck.

Here's the way I see it: You either file your own lawsuit or you wait for the conservation groups previously mentioned to file one. If they asked for donations, you either donate or not. It's that simple. If anyone is looking for an example of why we are our own worst enemy, this thread has become a fine example.

.Long week. Flew into Billings, MT last Saturday. Drove to Red Lodge the next day and back to Billings. Billings to Cody, WY. Cody to Sheridan, WY. Back to Red Lodge. Back to Billings. Home. Looking for real estate. Guy at Billings Enterprise asks my wife if we are staying local. She says yes and then we proceed to put 1ooo miles + on the rental. No pics of Billings. For MT's largest city, there was not much traffic, trees all through the city and some real nice houses along the rimrocks, but way too many meth-heads and other miscreants that we are trying to get away from here. Cross it off the list. Road from Red Lodge to Yellowstone's NE Entrance. It's steep and a bit un-nerving until you get used to it. Typical view from/in the Beartooth's. Road from Cody to Yellowstone's East entrance. Another view along the Cody - Yellowstone road. Shoshone River. Grizzly Bears were reported to have been viewable fishing it, but we were never there at first or last light so we didn't see any. Two and a black bear were killed on the road within the last 15 days. Yellowstone East Entrance Gate. We came all this way only to turn around. Cody's nice and the view's of the Rocky's are awesome. WYO has open and concealed carry............ And you can ride your ATV right down main street. Kind of touristy, busy in the summer, not so much in the winter. We did look at a SF dwelling on five acres we liked .................. Road from Cody to Sheridan crossing the Big Horn's. Big Horn's cattle grazing. Lone cowboy bring the sheep down from the high country for the winter. Big Horn fall colors. Driving down and out of the Big Horn's to Sheridan. I deleted all of my pics of the area around Sheridan - it was so big it was overwhelming and there was no way a photograph could convey the vastness of the environment. Sheridan was nice. Too big for us though and still growing. Crossed off the list. But if your wanting to see antelope and deer, this is the place for you. Scrubs.......... Seriously. In one night along on road we saw 250+ whitetails. All coming out into irrigated fields. We watched four 10-points that had to be pushing 140 - they were massive. Antelope rut was in full swing. This one was tearing up the brush. Scraping and pissing in it. Best muley buck I could get a pic of. Back in Red Lodge. Hiking trail above the area we really liked. Look's like RL is going to be our final stop. Will go back in January to get a feel for the winter and the winter crowds. Although Cody is a close second and WYO is more conservative and we might give it one more look, we love the RL area (similar to Jackson, WYO).

Awesome pics and that last one is epic!

Very nice, as usual!

Entire DEP Website is down..............

Just bought one each for my Son and I.

Yea, that's a good one.

Good one!

I cleaned out my he-shed today and got all my shit ready, but it's waayyyyyyyy to hot for me to even start to get in the mood. Maybe by mid-October.

Yea, that big ridge on the back of the skull is indicative of a opossum.

Bait - I get bored too quick...................

I like cats (have four) and wine (try to drink a bottle a night). Make fun of me and I'll kick your ass.

8-12" Snow at elevation (9000') in Wyoming. Told my wife she can drop me off with a lawn chair and a 12-pack at the first snow drift we see and come back for me when its time to go home.

It's a raccoon. I just looked at one I cleaned up. Looks the same.
