Here’s another story from the Wyoming State Daily, that some of you may enjoy. Back in 1988, when Yellowstone was on fire, myself and a friend of mine did a backpack elk hunt in the Gros Ventre Mountains. We packed up the Crystal Creek Drainage, which dumps into the Gros Ventre River. At about 8 to 10 miles in, we passed Gap Pucci’s outfitter camp! We continued on for about another 2 miles. A hellofa physical hunt, to come back home without an elk! ☹️ memtb https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/0...e-last-wyoming-mountain-man-of-his-time/

That was a very enjoyable read, hanks for posting that. 👍👍 He is quite the man for sure. Too bad his books are unavailable on Amazon. I know I would have liked to read them.
