Wyoming black powder

Sorry can’t C&P the article on my phone.

Thanks for posting the link. It's a pretty good account by and for laymen and hopefully will attract newcomers to the Wyoming group. I'm going to mark it as a reference. These days I get more folks than usual with questions about BP shooting when they find out I've been doing it for a while.

Are you in Wyoming?

Looks like a good group .

Wyoming is the land of the free--a great muzzle loading State.

I love Wyoming. I'd move there in a heartbeat.

I enjoy the enthusiasm of the writer, but the boy pictured right about the safety note has no eye protection. He’s having fun though.

Tallswife,

Not in Wyoming but only a couple thousand miles away in Virginia. From photos I've seen and things I've read, I would love to see the Montana/Wyoming areas. (Preferably not in winter.)

I'm from Wyoming, Casper actually(mom and brother are still in Cheyenne) I live in Minnesota now. For those who say they would love Wyoming......you are right you would. The pictures you see are always amazing because there is "AMAZING" everywhere. Mountains, Valley's, creeks, rivers, prairies, lakes, snakes, and all the beautiful things that earth has to offer. Go Visit any of the Mountains. It's worth the trip.

Spent time in Jackson Hole area and the Tetons in the early 80’s. Great place.

My wife and I always vacationed in the West and love it except in the winter. Hell, I have seen the roads closed on Memorial Day due to snow.

 

[jfaldo]

Memorial day is the date WYDOT uses for opening of seasonal roads that aren't maintained during winter. Sometimes that works out, others times not necessarily. Depends on the severity of the winter.

Been there twice going back in 23, this past year middle of Oct. spent 3 days holed up during a blizzard in Buffalo near the big horn mountains, All the roads were shut down about 20 in. of snow and wind that would blow the hair off a dog, loved it. if it was not for the wife ( Shes a beach type of girl) I would move there in a minute.

I was in Jackson Hole for the 4th of July one time. Great fun!

In the sixteen years we've lived here we have seen a lot of people come and a lot of people go. Just as you said we men tend to love it and a lot of women just flat out hate it. Too much wind, too much winter, and how far to I have to drive to go shopping? I'm lucky that my wife loves it here as much as I do. We tell people all the time it takes a special breed of person to live here. It's definitely not for everyone. Funny thing my wife and I moved here mostly because of black powder sports. We got tired of making the drive from Ohio to attend some of our favorite black powder shoots.

Much like where I live in Alberta. Extreme weather swings are not for everyone. And wind most of the time.

The wind! Yes, the wind! Was in Wyoming about ten years ago & the wind stopped blowing. Everybody fell over!

Don’t know if Wyoming gets the warm winter Chinook winds? Here it can go from minus to plus temps in a few hours.
