Wyoming elk and eclipse hunt
« on: August 26, 2017, 12:42:32 PM »
I spent a few days in central Wyoming last week. It was a combination antlerless elk hunt, eclipse watch, antelope scouting, get away from Washington trip. I stayed in a cabin on a ranch southwest of Casper. It's always nice to be in Wyoming. I plan to go back in October for antelope.

Here are a few photos from the trip.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
