The cabin at Pass Cr and the Game and Fish cabin on the "Park" line.



Mountain groceries, dinner for 2

Happy and tired stock

Some of the "tools" of the trade

Back to work

Back over the top following the migration trail into "Fall Crick"
So DAMN steep we stood at the top and pee'ed on the rock so there was some grip for the ponies, SO DAMN STEEP, 1 miss step and you would end up in the bottom 600 yds below in a tangle of broken tack and horseflesh...

Last camp and tomorrow we have to share the world with everyone else.



Mountain ponys are not "pretty". TOUGH but not pretty, and a few more random pics.
Enjoy and Safe travels

Looks like a dang good trip to me!!!

Thanks for taking the time to post those! Wish I would have been up there with y'all!

Cool. Nice pics. Will be doing the same thing in 2 weeks just a little farther north.

Thanks for the photos, jealous.

Are you really cooking a pancake in a shovel? Nice views and nice stock.

tortilla in the shovel
chili in the fire

well worn trails many animals seen?

I hate to ruin the fantasy with the fact that
the country was nearly devoid of wildlife.
In 6 days we saw 9 Mt. sheep, 1 grizzly
and less than 50 elk.
Used to see 1500 elk and 3-10 griz a day.
The prey base has collasped from the
National Park Services wildlife experiments.

Thanks for the pics ravenr, that is some gorgeous land!

Wow. Quite a life you lead, Ravenr.

Course I would be doing it anyway

It helps when you have a wife that supports you financially.

Don't know how you came up with that BS

Uncle Joe,

Yeah! Yeah! Where's the part about the horse wreck?

BTW: Disregard the haters. Jealousy is rampant. Actually I hate you but my freezer thanks you for the buffalo delivery.

WTF kind of ridiculous comment is that? I've known JR the better part of 20 years and he's been doing this stuff his entire life. He was damn sure doing it before he was married. He makes a damn good living doing what he loves and lives life to the fullest. Your comment was really off base and uncalled for IMO

So you are stating you are a licensed guide and outfitter in the state of Wyoming? I know the answer. You state you make a living doing it.

You also are a contractor.

shawnmc,

Joe doesn't need me to defend him but I am curious what your motivation is in what seems an effort to discredit him.

If Joe married a gal that supports his hunting and additionally makes a decent living plus Joe makes some money as a carpenter in the off season I'd say he is smart and lucky. What about that do you find offensive?

I have a question, why are you being a little bitch and pissing all over a great thread? I have personally guided with JR in multiple states and 2 countries. What is your issue?

I don't get it either. I was actually just thinking yesterday that Ravenr really has his priorities straight. Too many hunters today think it is all about the number of species you can kill, getting the Conklin award, etc.

They miss the simple pleasures of taking a lever gun, a flyrod, and some gear into the country of their choosing to just enjoy the outdoors.

If Ravenr is an outfitter who is also a contractor, good for him. He has the flexibility to do what he wants with his time. I am sure being a full time guide would be a challenging way to make a living, to say nothing of how you will retire.

Wonderful pics. Every thread you post is full of great pictures and I always enjoy watching your threads.

Tell you what shawnmc
You claim knowledge of me and have a problem
about something or other.
Why don't you come on up to the house and you can repeat your problem, and we can visit about
how to solve your problem?

It is the internet, I guess you can be who ever you want to be. Mean while we will let the G&F and Wyoming Outfitters Association decide if he is a licensed guide and makes a living off of paying clients.

A stocked game farm in Texas hardly qualifies.

And two countries, USA and Mexico. Licensed there to?

Now you are going to beat me up since the truth is out.

In Colorado you operate under the license of the outfitter, in New Mexico you can act as the agent and representative of the landowner and in Mexico you just need to show up genius. Nothing like an anonymous guy taking shots at somebody else over the Internet. What a douche bag

I made no threat in my post.

It was a question. Genius!

In Wyoming you need a license, and work under an outfitter. Even if you so much as take a pair of binoculars for your efforts. And yeah you can get around it by leasing the horses and going along as a wrangler. Happens all the time, but touchy. But to admit you make a living doing it, you need to be legal.

Keep bouncing your pm's back and forth to your 20 year friend. Who hasn't even lived in Wyoming 20 years.

For someone who knows so much you
seem to be asking alot of question and
making some rash statements.
When I work in Wyo. I do so as a leagally
licensed guide. Genius!
Game and Fish? Sure! Give G. Brown or M.Black,J.Longabardi a call and ask him about me or B.Holder and W.Cummings in Co.
both are wardens for the State of Co.
Outfitters Board? You will find I had a guide license last year and say hello to L.Livingston for me.
Good luck with your research and would you report
back what you find?

I know you need to be licensed in Wyoming, I've been licensed in Wyoming. I was merely answering your question. The "genius" comment was because you threatened him with calling fish and game and he has done nothing illegal in the areas I mentioned. I've never hunted with him in Wyoming but my guess is that he is on the up and up there as well.


Who are you? What's your name? I'm curious and regardless of your motivation the fact that you even mentioned another mans wife in an effort to discredit or demean a man shows the class, or lack thereof, of you. You want to have a beef with ravenr then get after it but be a man about it and leave the women out of it. Shawnmc is a low rent, classless piece of shit IMO for pulling that stunt

And some people wonder why fewer and fewer members post pictures.

The only problem I have with the above pictures is that it makes me hate living on the east coast even more.

As long as a man is happy doing what he is doing and his wife/family are content with the life they have, it is really none of the business of the internet vigilante's to harass him for simply sharing a little portion of his life with the folks on this or any other site.

Regardless of anything else that has taken place on this site between me and anyone Ravenr was generous enough to share his pictures with all of us.

I for one enjoy Ravenr's pictures, and I for one am happy for him living the life he has chosen. I hope he keeps on sharing his adventures with us.

I see the jealously and hate is alive and well on this forum as well as the African forum. A private PM would have served the forum better and possibly answered your concerns. Wonderful pictures of the Western USA....thank you for the post. Ignore the ignornant's ingnorance.

I know Gary Brown quite well. I have known him for over 20 years. I knew him when he was warden in Saratoga. As well as Jerry Longobardi, even when he was in Baggs. Kevin Hurley, know him to. He is retired.

I enjoy the pictures to, but the B.S. that goes with it, is some what hard to swallow. Make a living? Not hardly. Just don't try to pull the wool over all the folks that visit here.

All,
These kinds of attacks at best are petty Junior High Girl crap.
At worst they are one person trying to remove the "pursuit of happiness" from another by the application of vitriol. It is epidemic today in our culture, if one can use that word to describe the actions we so often see today.
So: Mister naysayer ShawnMC, unless ravenr is stealing your money to live his life, just go away and leave him and us alone to the pursuit of our happiness. We enjoy the pictures and the stories.

It is illegal to guide, or preform pack trips for pay, unless you are a licensed guide, working for a licensed outfitter. Don't blow smoke up the arses of the unknowing.

And Joe doesn't make a "living" guiding and packing.
