Took a few nice photo's today but didn't see many critters. Callshot had to return some Speer Gold Dots to Sportsmans Warehouse in Idaho Falls, thats over 100 miles if we take the highway. He had never been the back way through Bone (lived here all his 65 years) so we took off, even took his truck! We were still working on the seeds I had put in his bucket from a couple of days before so I get in a little more spitting practice on his floor again, I mixed in a few peanut hulls for good measure.
This is really remote country, once you get north of town its over 70 miles of gravel roads with maybe 3 ranchers living out there until you hit pavement again at Bone.
Because of the midday heat all the squirrels, badgers & other vermin were cooling off inside a den hole deep in the ground. I was about to starve to death when we got there, finally got to put a choke hold on a 5 Guys burger & fries & a couple of ice teas for a belly wash.
As we were leaving a nice looking gal walked in front of Steve's truck & while he was enjoying the view I reached over & honked his horn.......she probably jumped 3 feet in the air. If I read her lips right she was mouthing somehing about his ancestory....which is questionable!
We decided to take a different route home & headed east towards Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We drove along the Idaho/Wyoming border where we stopped for a square ice cream cone. The sign about the ice cream said there best day ever was over 9,000 cones & over 10,000 for a holiday weekend & these little beauties (Huckleberry) are $2.50 a scoop!
Driving towards Palisades Resevoir we stopped at my buddy Brent's summer cabin, it sits high on a mountain top overlooking the resevoir & dam. Inside is a lifetime of trophies, several nice muley bucks, 4 huge bull elk, bears, both grizzly & black bears, antelope, 2 lions, last years bull moose with my Harton 480, a life size mountain goat taken right out his back yard, only about 3,000 ft higher in elevation. Also coyotes, badgers & one Utah fisherman.....just kidding!
I took several photo's of the surrounding area, very pretty, also has a spare "cabin" that sleeps 16!
A very nice cabin.
Here I am holding a brand new toy, wish it were mine. How about a Freedom Arms model 97 in 44 special, wow, what a beauty!
Palisades Resevoir off in the distance, its about 20 miles long.
This is the backyard view, Brent took a very nice mountain goat right up at the top.
Looking north towards Swan Valley & the famous South Fork of the Snake.
Brents moose, taken with my Harton 480, one shot & the first shot he had ever fired from this gun.
Another view from upstairs.
Can you see the bull elk in full velvet across the river, he's going to be a dandy in about 2 months!
Covered 260 miles, had a great time & I got to spit a lot of sunflower seeds & a few peanut hulls in Callshots truck.
