KS Buck Returns Home to WY

Feb 11 2010

The Kansas muzzleloader buck has finally returned home to Wyoming for good after being remounted up in Libby, Montana. It’s good to have the buck back in the office for us to all enjoy. Mel did a fantastic job on the taxidermy and base. The cape is unreal, double throat patch and all.

Now I just need to cook up a “do not touch” sign for the old boy.

A huge thank you goes out to Mel and Kevin over at Wildlife Recapture Taxidermy in Libby, MT for all their hard work on the buck. It turned out awesome fellas’. (www.wildliferecapture.com)

Wolves on the Winter Range in WY

Feb 10 2010

The following is a caption and photo sent to me just today from a friend and fellow backcountry snowmobiler in Jackson Hole, WY. Wow, twenty wolves in one bunch!!! More of our precious wildlife resource up in smoke. Thanks again USFWS.

“Great news, the Wyoming Game & Fish Department won’t have to feed elk this year, probably can’t even find an elk in the Gros Ventre, they will be scattered everywhere alive and dead. I wonder how many elk and moose a week it takes to keep this bunch going?
22 wolves in one pack about 2 miles from the Cabin and Alkali feedgrounds in the Gros Ventre. Late January, 2010.”
