In reading many posts on here about hunting out west, I have heard a good portion of the hunters say they can't pull off a scouting trip for one reason or another. I have limited vacation time myself so taking a fall hunting trip uses half of my vacation. In the past I felt guilty for wanting to use the other available vacation time for a scouting trip- until I got my whole family involved. For those of you that are in this situation, consider bringing the whole family out for a "vacation" that can double as a scouting trip. Now when I ask my kids where they want to go on summer vacation, they don't even hesitate- It's always the mountains in Wyoming. I'm posting just a few pics of our summer vacation/scouting trips. Anyone else have any good vacation/scouting ideas feel free to take this post anywhere fun...



My son was so excited to stalk in close to these moose! We were very well hidden up until the time of the picture. I had him slip out of the shadows and into the sun for the picture. There were three bulls here but I could only get two in the photo. He also loved the fishing- This is his first trout. It was right at three pounds on my not so accurate scale. We caught 30-40 fish that afternoon.
