Myself (42) and my son (14) are tagging along with two other guys to Wyoming. They each have cow tags. Son and I are looking to enjoy the scenery and experience, learn a bit, and hopefully help pack out some meat.

Roksliders have helped me spend some money the past few months 😂 and I wanted to say thanks, and hopefully share some pics and stories here when we return. I’m thankful for the wealth of information here. Can’t wait to experience it for myself.

The weather forecast has warmed considerably, from cold/snowy to warmer/rainy for the early week. Maybe that won’t be too detrimental. Any thoughts on that?

We head West from Louisiana tomorrow morning. Spent a week in Chama, NM over the summer, and headed to CO to ski in February. Trying to escape the heat and humidity of the Deep South as often as possible!
 
I’ve considered picking up a wolf tag, but $208 for NR is steep. I guess .gov isn’t looking to remove many.

Hunting aside, I'd still much rather have snow than rain/wet. Be sure you've got rain gear or a way to stay dry. Wet mountains are sloppy.
