The fall of 2006 was our last hunting season in South Dakota, having sold our SD farm and moved to Wyoming, a long-planned, long-awaited change in life. Now after a few months and 38 trips back and forth hauling belongings, we're here.
Years of visiting and traveling WY led to a long-term desire to move here. We chose the high country of northwest WY near Yellowstone Park and the little town of Dubois to settle in. Both Charlotte and I had spent a lot of time over the hill in Jackson Hole and while we enjoy it, Dubois has more to offer for those still hunting, shooting, or enjoying outdoor recreation. This area has the greatest collection of big game hunting anywhere in North America with Mule Deer, Elk, Whitetail, Moose, Big Horn Sheep, not to mention the great mountain lion and black bear hunting, entertainment by the grizzlies and now wolves. No other place has this diversity.
Just east of Dubois has a native pheasant population, starting around Crow Heart and continuing through the hay and farm country along the Wind/Big Horn River. We'll focus on that area to start the Wyoming version of Andersen Farms Pheasnt Hunting next year.
Dubois also has the premium snowmobiling of the West and is in the 'Golden Triangle' of fly fishing. Lakes, mountains, wildlife, hunting, snowmobiling, fishing; Dubois has it all.
