'morning All,

I spent last week up in Jackson Hole.

Man, I can't believe it's already been a year since I was up here for 2023.

Last year I was up here recovering from outpatient shoulder preventative surgery/pre-cancer, waiting for the green light from my Dr. to go back and hunt my Desert Ram tag here in my home state.

This year I'm just waiting to head out for my late Iowa Whitetail hunt, not a bad place to wait it out.

I started getting a Winter Buzz haircut as I'm always wearing a beanie and I hate beanie hair but man it's cold for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to view All.

#LovinLife,

Robb

That wraps it up for this AM.

Lots to do with getting home, unpacking ect. and prepping to leave on this Friday for the drive to Iowa.

I'll try and do some, this-n-that, Mayana

Thanks again for taking the time to view All.

Good luck, Robb

Great pics, Robb! When you’re in Iowa, you could pick up bunch of corncobs to replenish the azzwipe supply for that old outhouse! My dad always said that they worked great and “they cleaned off all of the new, and part of the old” ;-)

Safe travels on your way to Iowa my friend!!

Warming up
Thanks for sharing. My wife and I looked at getting a place in Jackson back in 2010. Prices were insane and more so now. I have no idea how a person working at a local restaurant or ski shop can afford rent much less save to buy a place there.

I have been fortunate to harvest three elk there. Here is a picture of my last hunt there when also was below 0F. I went into town to warm up on one of my hunts and wrote a few postcards.

We were in Jackson in August ...seems as though it's a private jet kinds place....I think we paid $10.00 for an ice cream cone . Talked the raft guide...the place they live in was bought 30+years ago....impossible to afford now according to him

My wife and I met some friends in Jackson last year- a nice little high end resort town.

We stayed at the Cloudveil right in the middle of town- nice hotel. The mountains N of town are a great hiking destination ....and Yellowstone isn't too far.

A guy shot a Cow Buff while I was digi-scoping up by Lower Slide Lake on the Forest ground.

The other Buff, didn't even react to the shot.

Kinda startled me as I didn't even see 'em, although the Dually Flatbed truck with the Gooseneck horse trlr should have given me a clue.

Thanks for the photos. I've seen many of the spots in your pics.

My wife and I lived in Jackson from 1978-1983. Since you are showing this time of year, on Dec 31 1978- Jan1 1979 it hit -50 f. No bs. That's in the Jackson record book. Additionally it was below freezing for one month straight that season. Also in the record book. Back then 5-7K elk winter wintered on the National Elk Refuge north of town. They were supplemental fed. Thanks again for pics.
