Duffman Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Headed out to WY last week for some camping and fishing with the little lady and the hound. On the drive back I was able to cross off an item on the bucket list. chaffmj, Mike89, Wanderer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderer Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Nice! Still waiting to actually SEE one of those myself. Twice I’ve had one pass within 2 miles of where I lived but still haven’t laid eyes on one. Duffman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Duffman Posted July 9, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2019 Not only did I see my first tornado, but I also caught my first Tiger Trout. Fun trip to the Bighorn mountains of WY. The moose were plentiful, and we had a laugh at the mule deer that walked within 10ft of the sleeping hound in camp........a startled *woof* sent it on it's way. It came back a couple times, I'm pretty sure it was just teasing the dog for fun. rundrave, Mike89, bobbymalone and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Been out to God's country many times but always stuck on shore with no canoe. Great pictures and the weather looked great too! Edited July 9, 2019 by leech~~ Duffman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few cells around, but that cloud caught our attention. Heading south on 85, it was still to the west, but by the time we caught up to it, it had just crossed the highway. It was pretty impressive when darn near right under it and folks were pulling over to watch what may happen. I pressed on not knowing the area and thinking of safety. But kept an eye on it as it moved east and we moved south/southeast. About 10 minutes later I proclaimed in a very excited voice "It's happening!!!". Pulled over, watched the show and took some pics. It was a quick one, but man...........so cool to finally see a twister. This is all I found on the net about it......... July 3rd. 5:27 P. 2 Sw Dewey- Weston County WY Multiple Spotters Reported A Tornado Southwest Of Dewey Beginning At 427 Pm. Tornado Was Up And Down Through At Least 440 Pm.

pushbutton Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Sucks that life gets so busy Duff, and hard too keep in touch with all the cool people on this site........ I was in the Southern part of Bighorn the 4th and 5th.......and would have been great to see ya again. Glad to see the pup is still hanging in there. You know they say when a deer purposefully wants to hang around humans, there is a Squatch nearby. Great pics!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pics!!! Lol, that reminds me of a time fishing the Yellowstone river. I had climbed out on a large snag of dead falls to cast. I heard a noise behind me and thinking Bear, I turned to find a small Doe walking out to me! Scared the dump out of me but she just wanted to make friends! I gave her a few marshmallows and could hardly get rid of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny that you were there, my co-workers best friend was also in that area last week (they hiked the same trail we did a day later). Such a small world at times. Despite the pre-mature gray on the hound and her very mellow demeanor (which I dig), she just turned 7 this spring. I'm guessing your little feller ain't so little anymore? I can't even remember how long ago it was when we hooked up for catting through the ice. Maybe we can find some time to hook up again? Open water or ice, keep it in mind as the days, months, and years roll by..............quicker and quicker it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little surprised how the animals showed little fear towards humans out there. Even the Moose, they paid a little attention when near, but no fear whatsoever. But when we seen a mama moose and calf headed our way out hiking, we skedaddled the other way. Don't need to be stomped into a puddle of Duffmeat. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to be stomped into a puddle of Duffmeat. Leads me to another story out there. Three of us walking the river bank looking for good pools to fish came across a baby moose in front of us on the rivers edge. Cool, look at that! Didn't seem to see the other baby moose just in the brush from the way we just came, or the very pizzed off mommy Moose standing right behind us! The river bank at that spot was about 5 foot drop so no way out of the 3 way stomping but to slowly about-face and try to get back the way we came! We didn't make Outdoor life-This happened to me. So we made it! Edited July 11, 2019 by leech~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juneau4 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Just wondering where you where at? Cloud Peak Wilderness area? Some of the pictures look familiar, but the canoe would have taken a horse to get it in. Great scenery and country. My Father and Mother-in-law lived in Buffalo , so I know that area from Sheridan to Gillette rather well. You were camping In West Ten Sleep-- then came back East through Buffalo to I-90. Should have spent a night at Meadow Lark on the south side, Looks from the photo's all had fun --even the pooch!

Yeppers, didn't see a soul from the time I left the bar in Ely on Tuesday night till I returned to the Lake One access Saturday morning. Latest I've ever gone in the fall, but was still surprised by the lack of people, seeing that it was MEA weekend as well. Best fall fishing I've ever had up there, half dozen nice crappies, another half dozen small pike and over 20 walleyes in 16-18" range.

My first Golden at 45lbs could have fit in between my legs, but this one is a long and lean 95 lber. I figured it was a good omen for my trip when I left the office on Tues to head up north and the Weinermobile was parked next to my truck. lol Mike89 and Hoey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
