Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Yellowstone trip advice please.

I welcome all the smart azz Bovine scat opinions as well.

Looking at a trip to Yellowstone this year, I don’t have to travel when the crowds are around. I’m towing a teardrop with my truck as a bed betwixed lodging. Coming staight up from central Texas.
I am retired military so I can utilize military facilities. I’m not hard wired into a time, length of travel, nor routes.

We are no strangers to adverse conditions. We are resourceful and hardy, hell fer stout, not dainty daisies.

What say y’all on where to stay, what to see, places to eat?

Tag.

Stay away from them Duttons. People got a way of turning up dead or broke around them....

They make break me but they won’t kill me.

Been there once, very cool place. Check these guys out, they have some videos on Yellowstone tips.

Hope you have a great trip.

Forgot to say go to Grand Teton National Park while your out there, not to far away..

Thanks fellas.

I have an extra hitch receiver welded to my front push bar that I slide a modified bumper dumper in through a hole in my potty tent.

I tow the trailer because between trip lodging locations in the expanse of this fuggin third world nation there are places with nothing but chithole hotels

If you have no reservations of any type for the Park(s)

You'll be dispersed camping on US Forest or BLM land (link 2)

I'm going in June.....made reservations Dec 30th..Teton & Yellowstone

Otherwise mid/late September when some of the crowds are gone

Yellowstone reservations are made through the first link

Hope you’re good at throwing that Bersa after it stovepipes on you.

Rec.gov does reservations for Teton NP

But you'll see the summer will be booked up

I’d prefer as much of no reservation as possible so I don’t find myself busting hump to make it somewhere

I have a Golden Access Pass too

I don’t carry a Bersa but it only stovepipes on the limp wristed Broke Back Mountain types

JohnnyLoco: Go in mid to late September and be sure to include at least ONE traverse of the incredible "Beartooth Highway" - which is just outside the park to the north.
We did that Beartooth trip again last year and spotted lots of Mt. Goats and a "wild" Grizzly Bear there on!
Be sure and plan your stop at "Artist Point" at "mid-day" so no shadows will hamper the incredible photography/views there.
Jackson Hole is ALWAYS stunning there, and do a gondola ski ift sidetrip there to the top of some ridges.
If'n you are over 65 be sure to buy a National Park Pass this is good forever and will save you money at every National Park between Texas and Glacier national Park (if'n you care to do that mileage - which is I think well worth that effort/expense).
Drive careful and enjoy - be sure to do Cody, Wyoming and its wonderful museums/rodeo there.
Enjoy and take a couple of kalifornicationkopians back to Texas with you while you are up this way.

That’s exactly why I gave you the heads up, Brother . Ok, you were bragging on them .

Go in mid to late September.

Is that bridge repaired at the north entrance?

I ain’t taking any Californians back with me, we have enough 🤣😂

I have no hate for the Bersa 380.

Wildlife is not really my primary objective on the trip as my ranch has some freak animals I see on a daily basis. Its more of a trip for the wife. Being deeply remote in the Texas Hill Country, a place to stay in Lincoln County New Mexico, and Navy Base Lodging on the coast, I’m fine just staying in my Zone.

Its just another place to enjoy the scenery with a drink and sex.

Stop and see the Little Bighorn Battlefield. It’s about 60 seconds off of I-90.
