A good day for a hike

I got to go hiking again this Saturday with Jeramy. We were not sure of where the best place to go would be, but decided to try a new area in Wyoming. The weather started out mild in the morning, however, we had snow showers on and off all day. One moment the sun would be out and within minutes we would be wearing coats and gloves again. Despite the crazy weather, we had an awesome day finding antlers. We found lots of elk and deer sign, but only found mule deer antlers. Jeramy spotted the first antler with his binoculars, a real nice 7-point. When we started to go retrieve it, he found another nice 4-point on the way. Then he found another fresh 4-point antler. As I hiked back toward him, I found the match to his first 7-point side. This was the biggest set of deer antlers Jeramy and I had found together. We ended up finding three matching sets and fifteen antlers by the end of our hike. It was a great day!

What an amazing set and symmetrical!

More antlers.





Another matched set.


Some of the hills were a little steep.

A good day for antlers.



Here's a few pictures from my drive home. This is outside of Cokeville.

And only a couple miles past Cokeville the snow was gone. I love living out west.
