Ots of elk down on the NER (National Elk Refuge) this year, better than in the past with NO snow those years.

All kinda Bulls

From: BULELK1

10-Dec-22

Almost all the elk are pushed west almost along the 89 hywy after morning hunters start shooting Cow elk permission slips.

From: KSflatlander

10-Dec-22

Very cool. Never been there myself but hope to someday.

From: BULELK1

The Buff herds are smart and stay just outside the Legal hunting area's.

?First time I have seen big Bull Buff in the bed of a truck coming out of the Cache Creek road/area was this year, a pinch south of the NER

I couldn't get a pic though, a vehicle in front of me with a full size camper on it. They are already talking about shutting down the Buff early.

I can't believe it's been a year since I did last years JH thread but this year I only saw 2 Moose compared to last year and all those 'uge Bull Moose

From: BULELK1

10-Dec-22

I tried something a pinch different this year while Digi-Scoping ( Phone Skope) with angled borders...... I'm still out on if I like it

The Sheep were starting to migrate down and I always enjoy getting digi pix of them

From: BULELK1

10-Dec-22

100's of elk pushed to the west/out of the legal harvest unit boundary of the NER Muzzy or Bow only South end.

That wraps up this early AM pix

Ya know how it is the first day or 2 back home, laundry, groceries, ect. Oh, the life of a Bachelor!

More later on ~~ Thanks for taking the time to view All,

Thanks Robb! Take care and enjoy!

From: Grey Ghost

10-Dec-22

Robb, thanks for taking us along on your trip. I haven't been in Jackson Hole since a spring break skiing trip in college back in the early 80's.

Have you ever been to the Mangy Moose Restaurant up in that neck of the woods? I recall having some great meals and times in that place.

Miss living there... special place that hole. Glad you enjoyed and stayed thawed.

From: Shuteye

10-Dec-22

I have a cousin that lives there and she loves it. She used to live close to me but visited the area every year to take pictures of the animals, especially the big bears. Her husband died so she bought a house and some land out there and loves it.

From: badbull

10-Dec-22

Robb, you don't look as cold as I thought you should in that weather. What is your secret? I enjoyed seeing the animals. Those bulls look to be in good shape, Bob

From: BULELK1

11-Dec-22

Thanks for the kind words

I haven't been in the Mangy Moose in years---sorry.

We all have been driving down the road along those wildlife 8ft high fences to keep them off the highway and every so many yards apart, they have those big high mounds of dirt and a break in the fencing.

I've seen a few deer standing on them over the years, but I've never actually witnessed any wildlife actually going over them until this trip.

The big 6x bull hesitated but jump down the 6-7 feet.... the Spike following him didn't fare so well

It was easy to tell if the Buff had crossed into the NER as along this road every pull out of some type of parking option had trucks with Horse Trailers heading in and the west side parking along 89 hywy was packed with walk in hunters.

If the Buff hadn't crossed over night then there wasn't hardly any trucks.

Access was tough going to get onto the National Forest. Most every access including the loop route via Antelope Flats Road had snowplow closure blocking.

If memory serves me ya can't have a weapon hiking to the FS ground via the Park ground so I don't think ya can even access the FS ground?

This was pretty kool to witness firsthand

this 'uge Golden Eagle was buzzing this herd of Sheep to try and get them to scatter but they just bunched up and didn't go over the cliff/crags or separate so the Eagle could get 1 of the lambs.

First time I've ever digi scope Video.

Let me wrap it up for this early AM with a couple of my FAV Bull Elk pix in the snowstorm.

My digi scope goes to 80x but I had to keep it on 20x and just zoom a pinch with my iPhone, the heavy snow and all, I'm still content

From: BULELK1

These 2 bull kept to themselves and the 1 is a dandy Non-Typical!

Just simply beautiful when the snow and clouds lifted but my hell it as cold every day.

I'll do some this-n-that in the morning as I want to get my hike in before the snowstorm hits here at home!!

Good luck, Robb

Livin’ the dream you are. I haven’t been in the Mangy Moose lately either. But I usually stop in Bubba’s to eat and have a Teton Amber or Moose Drool.

That one bull sure is a dandy. I’d like to ask a bull like that a few questions. Starting with where the hell do bulls like you go during hunting season! Safe travels brother!

I'll answer a few of the Rustic Inn Lodge questions this way instead of individually.

Yes, they have an onsite Bar, Wine Cellar and a Buffet type meals inside the Lodge.

Thanks for bringing us along Robb!! I need to get out there in the winter to see the life in the NER. I've only been there in the summer when nothing is there.

From: Lewis

Thank you very entertaining good luck Lewis

From: wytex

I'm pretty sure forest access closes in Dec along the NER. Some areas are open until Dec 15. Looks very promising for the bison hunters this year, also ominous for us in Wyoming as it tells me they know deep snow is coming. They haven't moved onto the NER early enough last 2 years to get a decent cow harvest. Hope they stack 'em up this week and next !

The gas prices ran from $4.08 in south JH to $4.23 @ the Flat Creek '66' station on the north end of JH.

Diesel like $5.69 and UP.

Here is that Grizz I've been talking with some of y'all about.
