It's about 25° so we cook up a nice big breakfast and take our time getting ready to hunt hoping the sun would come out and warm up. Sun starts showing so we saddle a couple horses and take some dogs on a loop north of camp seeing if anything is up and moving. Had a antelope race with some of the pups so had to deal with that.

Starts clouding back up big nasty clouds and getting nasty so we start heading back to camp had about a mile to go. By the time we got to camp it was snowing again and the wind was blowing jus enough it was cold and annoying. So we throw the dogs in a dog box and have a quick lunch. Weather settled a little again so we loaded a few more dogs and took off to drive up the main road mainly to just go look around didn't have much hope of bears being up moving.. so we drove up to shuree ponds and up to the elk calving area. It really snowed up higher for awhile the one area we went had at least 8 inches of snow probably View attachment 274006View attachment 274007View attachment 274008
That evening when we came back down it was all melted off and dry down low so that was nice. Back in camp we grilled up some ribeye steaks and relaxed.

Looks like fun
