I've read that the Thorofare is the longest contingent wilderness in the lower 48. Awesome. Did you shoot a bull ?
Nope...Too many wolves. Saw wolves every day. Had one nice bull located, but just couldn't get close enough for a decent shot. He was 700+ yards away across a canyon with some cows.
My guide cow called and he started grunting and within 5 minutes there was about 10 or 12 wolves right there. All in all, was a great trip and awsome country, just too damn many wolves.
That sucks... Need some wolf tags given for that area pronto. I've seen wolves in the South Fork of Shoeshone near Cody all the way back to 2001 ! They've killed some there that were going after rancher's cattle. Didn't take them long to get from the Park to there...That's a shame CC. Sorry to hear.Quote:

Is there any bucks around Mt. Tom?
Ya I have freinds that kill some bucks out of there from time to time, usally alot of hunters around there.
