Got a call from my cousin today around noon. The long 2-day drive over to the Laramie unit was fairly smooth. They had to set up an initial camp about 3 miles from where they had hoped to. Main forest/desert roads were better than expected ... side roads .. not so much.
First day was mostly orienting ... driving roads to verify what was actually open. Second day was scouting (2 x 2) and climbing ridges ... one rattlesnake, 3 Rams in a bachelor group. Two were not shooters, the third was too far away to judge and darkness and intervening private lands prevented getting any closer. Third day scouting (also 2 x 2) one herd of 19 with a single smaller ram ... and when returing to teh rig, 8 close by (no rams).
Temps low 80's ... Very Dry ! Need to carry lots of water away from the rig.
No cell coverage in camp ... only from some of the higher ridges. Opening day is tomorrow (Sept. 1st).. Game on !
... Silver Bullet
Whack-em .. Stack-em ... and Pack-em
