snagged: Correct on the beauty aspect--lowland Wyoming is kind of like Kansas with swampland. But that is where the huge whitetails live--for a long time the number 2 typical WT was from that country. A lot of people think the next number 1 will come from there.

A younger friend and I have 15 preference points for a high country Colorado mulie hunt which we will probably cash in next year. We have always taken in heavy backpacks, but if we can find a good guide, we may take that option to be able to cover more country. We are picking our area--there are 14 of them--in the past we have carrie in as much as 90-100 pounds each, but that is sheer torment and I'm not certain I want to do that now. Horses are sounding better--or an ultra-light downsized pack/rifle/etc. which I am currently putting together--just in case. That country is beautiful in late August and early September.
