National BIson Range


This past weekend, our family took a safari through the National Bison Range in western Montana. It is a nineteen mile loop filled with wildlife and beautiful scenery. There are lots of large mammals including bison, elk, mule deer, whitetail, wolves, coyote, black bear, grizzly, marmots and there was hardly anyone there. Very unlike Yellowstone and Glacier where you have to fight crowds. All in all, it was a really fun trip that just took about a half day including driving both ways. We will definitely head back there soon!



Pronghorn (AKA antelope)

Hottie (AKA polly)

Yes virginia, that IS a giant pile of creepy antlers

The posing is getting more natural all the time. I pulled out the camera and Kathryn said "just a second while I pose"

Jack posing. Not as good

Man, the feds just love telling me what to do.

This poor guy was walking towards the happy hunting grounds.

By the way Becky we would love to take you to this place it is only 1 1/2 hours from our house. It is very lovely. We didn't see any bears, mtn lions, wolves, or coyotes, so don't get to worked up. We know they were in there though and we will return early in the morning sometime so we can see more wildlife.
