The 30-06 is sighted-in and ready. Discussion of tags to take wolves has grown very silent after the election. I was at Yellowstone yesterday. Lots of bison with lots of babies. A small number of adult elk. No baby elk visible at all. I saw no elk at all on the drive from Pocatello to West Yellowstone. There are usually a few in the fields and mountain sides on either side of I-15/SR 20.

Our baby elk and baby deer populations are getting hit hard by the bears again this year. Some years there are not many babies who escape the bears and live into the summer.

The bears then show up at people’s homes looking for more easy food. There are apparently no more easy baby elk to kill now.

Seeing the baby buffalo are lots of fun. We enjoy watching the inter action between the teenagers and the new borns. Lots of noise too.
