Every Fall I find myself in the hillsides in and around Jackson, Wyoming, in search of resident bull elk. The elk found near Jackson earlier in the season are generally smaller than bulls in “the Park” who migrate south later in the year. I prefer to bow hunt during the early weeks of September when the weather is warmer and the elk are vocal and actively seeking their harems. In my opinion, this time of year is more enjoyable than waiting for the larger elk and the beginning of rifle season which typically entails snowy weather. » More: Wyoming Elk Hunt

Wyoming Elk Hunt
October 7th, 2009Falconry on Sage Grouse in Eden, WY
September 28th, 2009
Last week, we enjoyed some wobble trap shooting and a successful antelope hunt near Cora, WY with next generation claiming future turf. Falconry is referred to as “the sport of Kings” and highly regarded internationally as the ultimate hunting pursuit. These birds are a cross breed between a wild Gyr and Peregrine Falcon. Cobra, pictured in this blog post, is 5 years old and this was his first perfect “stoop” on a Sage grouse this season. David Kennedy is the falconer from Atlanta who spends much of the fall training falcons at his “House of Grouse” cabin in Eden with fellow falconer and breeder Steve Chindgren from Salt Lake City.
