Pre Trip Both Yeti's and My Bow Target

I did a new gig with my receiver rack for this trip.

My Shell has been in San Diego Harbor since late February with all the C-19 Chit!

So a guy has to modify his options

I made it to my Airbnb Cabin

I had commitments in Etna, Wyoming during this week so I just wanted to include a Photo/Scouting trip for the 2 folks I'm helping out on this hard to draw Bull Moose Tag.

I knew going, that it was to be a Weather type trip but What the hey.....

When I got to a point on this FS road that any other tire tracks ended and I got to a big snowdrift with Down trees in it------

I did my best to get turned around (sorry no Balls to take a Pic!) I backtracked and parked then just decided to bushwack hiking into new terrain......

I always carry my AR-15 when I'm in a Wyo Predator Zone for maybe a chance meeting with a Wolf or a …..?

Eberlestock Gunrunner Pack

Super muggy and wet in the air like I was back in England @ Upper Heyford RAF Base just chilled to the bone even after hiking/sweating in the wet muddy soil that puts 1-2 inches of mud on a guys boots!

Down Day/Bad Weather Day, Laundry option off the bathroom

For under $100 a night with better weekly Rate$ this Airbnb stand alone cabin was a great find.

A guy could hunt the Idaho 76/66a one day and then the Wyo Gen tag the next day.

Same gig for Moose or Mule deer-------->

Perfect location for that option.

From: BULELK1

And More Elk!

My home away from home. I grew up in Etna Pa so I’ve shared a picture of the Etna Wyoming sign with old friends. They laugh at the population number. Smiths Fork Road is a rutty sob in places. I wouldn’t think you could get beyond Sheep Pass and the ridge at this time of year. I got stuck up there once in a rental car. Then when heading to LaBarge I came to a spot where the road was closed because they were putting a new pipe under the road at Coyote Creek. I drove it through the creek and did some minor damage. It was almost dark and way too far to turn around and go back and around through Cokeville and Kemmerer. I didn’t have the insurance and still can’t believe I never got a call after I returned it. Back east they would have freaked out but as you know it’s a different world in western Wyoming.

I talk to Gary Fralick the biologist for that area pretty much every week. Along with Randy Newburg I tuned in to an online meeting on Friday about the extensive mule deer studies in that area. This winter wasn’t to extreme and game animals should be in pretty good shape this year. Good luck to your friend with the moose tag and of course to you Robb in whatever ventures you get into this year. Thanks for sharing the pictures too. Just reading about that neck of the woods gives me a warm fuzzy feeling!

Robb The Wagon Well restaurant in Thayne had the best breakfast we found in the area. Not sure what’s open out there, but it’s worth stopping by. Home cooking at its best and reasonable prices.

Since you aren’t able to get over Commissary I have a pretty good idea where your new unit is. It’s all good around there. Just gotta find the spot on the spot. Safe travels and best of luck in Utah.
