The Crash and The Resurrection
The wind was finally dying down as Bill Ellzey and I prepared to hike off into the cap-rock formations surrounding our camp. We both had objectives that might allow amazing shadow and light patterns during the sunset hour. Though good friends, we each had our own agenda.

All other animals would be designated as livestock and require a per capita filing.

Sage-grouse, wolves, grizzly bears…and bison?
