Sun River Game Range



We took a long weekend and ventured North to check out the annual opening of the Sun River Game Range. The 26+ sections are closed from Dec 1-May 15 to give Elk a safe secluded place to winter. At 12 noon on May 15 the gates open and the place is flooded with people on foot, horseback, ATVs and vehicles to search for sheds. We left at 5:30 am in the circa 1991 two tone Suburban pulling the 4-wheeler. It may be old but it only has 60,000 miles and is full of power. The scene itself was worth the drive. There were a couple hundred people at least. The place was crawling with men, women, children, horses and of course dogs and humming with stories; most of which I found hard to believe. When they opened the gate everyone filed in hoping for some big finds. G found 2....I found o. But he did let me carry one so that I could look tough. We decided that next year we want to bring horses for sure.



See you next year.
