Hunting Bison in the Shadow of the Tetons
December 1st, 2011
Live Water Properties Broker, Matt MacMillan, grins as he poses with his prized buffalo. Jackson, Wyoming’s National Elk Refuge is one of the few places in the US where you can hunt free ranging wild bison. Matt pulled a special tag with limited permits this hunting season. The refuge suggests hunters pass a bison identification exam available online as a tool to help hunters differentiate between bulls and cows. A one to two-year-old bull and a mature cow are difficult to distinguish. To learn more about how you can go bison hunting in the shadow of the Tetons, click here.
A Saturday in September: Fishing on the Snake River
September 21st, 2011
By: Macye Maher
Today Beckett (5) and I went with Scott Smith and fished from the dam at Jackson Lake to Pacific Creek. It was epic. A chilly wind and powerful sunshine created a decadent fishing atmosphere. Beckett caught three cutthroat on a dry fly, all of which just surprised Scott and me to no end. The cast grew better and better. The first cutty took on a skating fly and the other two we watched very visual trout “takes”, and when we told Beckett to set, he did urgently. He fought them well, and afterwards gave thumbs up and a smile. He is a patient and happy angler, loves the boat and went barefoot the whole day.

Flying Goose on the Fly
August 30th, 2010
Not too far from Jackson Hole, just passed Kelly, Wyoming, Alex and I had the privilege of fly fishing a majestic and intimate setting (Alex and John Turner have the Flying Goose Ranch listed for sale with our company Live Water Properties). We drove along a curving road above the Slide Lake area. As we descended down towards the Gros Ventre River, the warm breeze came in through the Ford windows. We drove in through the gate and parked in a grassy pull-out to gear up. The evening warm, we felt the sun and could look down into the crystalline water. Were there trout down there? Nothing seemed to move but when we began to fish the tides turned! » More: Flying Goose on the Fly
