Good Day Wild Utah !
Another sun shinny day in Utah.How lucky are we ? Then to top it off we received an email from school telling us that our 13 year old was doing way good in his drama class. That is nice to hear. Keep up the great work. Now I just need to get my camera out and hope for more good news. Seems like some day you have to get up and look for the positive. The morning did have a few bumps. I think that is just life.
I took some pictures a few days ago at Antelope Island. It's a little hard to believe they actually have a Bison hunt on the Island. My Wife and I drove down pretty close to a few good bulls. They are massive when you get close. This time of year they look pretty rugged. They have such a thick winter coat. We have Three areas in Utah to draw a tag and hunt Bison. The Henry Mountains have the largest free ranging heard in the state. Then we have a new heard just introduced to the Book Cliff area. The last is this heard on Antelope Island. It make take ten to twenty Years to draw a tag in Utah. If you do draw it is a once in a life time draw. So for most hunters it will probable never happen. Just being that close to these animals is so cool. We didn't get out of the car they were so close. If you haven't ever been out to the state park you should do so. The picture on the bottom was interesting. This Magpie was trying to pull one of the long hairs off the Bison's neck .The Bison was getting mad at him and would throw his head back then stand up and shake to remove him. Just as soon as he got him to fly, he would fly right back on his back again. Finally the Bison just went on his way foraging in the snow for the new grass underneath. There is defiantly something very wild and nostalgic about this beautiful animal. They just seem so rugged and have such a history in the West.It is hard to picture thousands of them roaming free. We are lucky to have them in our state. Hope you will get out and enjoy our wildlife. Till tomorrow have a great day.
