Mark- good luck!
I was just thinking about hens. Its usually about the 25th here, but it also seems like its usually a week after the first couple nights down in the forties. Maybe too warm AND dry..

too early yet for here. we had 3.7" of rain last week and the creek ran barely for a couple days and then dry again. amazing. that creek only dried up in `88 and briefly in `95. have found lots of big chicken of the woods, but not too worried about a hen failure just yet. been digging a few trees and the soil is damp all the way down, well at least several feet down. but I guess no deep water or the field tiles would be running and they are not. welcome home mark. how you like our humidity? it hits a guy about the first trees 1/2 way across ks or nebraska. on my wyoming trips I know it`s over when I see trees and start hearing rap music on the radio. or when the sun comes up most of the way across iowa and there is fog in the lowlands and I smell pig poop. then then think , well crud. as the griz hunter said to jeremiah johnson, with disgust in his voice, city folks and mostly "FARMERS".....

I always have a sad feeling when I'm coming down and just about to enter Denver and see Bill Cody's monument. Means the Mountains are gone for another year. Good to be back but I miss it already. Some of the best experiences of my life have been out there and had a couple again this year.....but no meat to go with it. Could have shot a monster at 12' through some limbs but I held off as I didn't want to see him wounded and have that on my mind for such a magnificent creature. Funny, I practice out to 60yds with 8" groups and have an opportunity at 12' with maybe 3" holes in low light; not being sure that the hole is even clear. That vid will be in my mind for a while

one of the mountain men in his old age had to go live with a daughter in st.louis. every day he had her sit him facing west. I know the feeling. my family and business and obligations are here. but I`m always in wyoming.

I'm thinking that was Jim Bridger who went blind at the end of his life.

We have grass to mow after out 1.2 inches but we are very dry. Had a light mist this morning, forecast was for .1 inches and I believe we may have gotten that.
