Another good day at church.  I love worshipping the Lord!  It was a warm day - low 80's.  This evening we headed up on Waterdog and Kinikin.  Nothing up there - not even a deer.  We then headed on up to P77 again.  We only saw one little buck up there.  We saw a vulture, which was pretty unusual.  We ran into Ryan on his way up.  He told us later that he saw quite a few elk and a couple new calves.  One calf appeared to have been hit by a car.  That's not a surprise as the Big Cimarron road has become a zoo with people driving fast on it.  It's especially busy this Memorial Day weekend.  We didn't even go on that road as we knew it would be no fun.  Why do people fly through God's creation?  Why go to the mountains if you're just going to race to your selfie spot and then race back.  Slow down and enjoy it.  Nikon Z50 II

Just messed around home today and headed up P77 this evening.  We saw a lot of elk and deer.  Some of the cows are looking like they are going to have calves any day now.  One cow was quite the trouble-maker.  She was nipping at the others a lot.  It was quite cool up there, only around 50.  That obviously helped to get the critters moving early.  Thank you Lord for another great day in your creation.  NikonZ50 II & Nikon P950 straight out of camera.

Today Allen and I went turkey hunting in Sanborn.  We took his Ranger.  We didn't see or hear any turkeys. We saw lots of elk and surprisingly mostly bulls.  They're looking very healthy after the mild winter.  It was pretty cool - low 50's and the wind was howling.  We couldn't have heard a turkey if it was sitting on our lap...haha.  It was a good blessed day!  Iphone 15pro
