Have you seen your unsuccessful return checks from the fish and game yet anyone?

[wyo10]

Usually takes awhile to receive them. Atleast mine and I live in cheyenne.

[SkunkedAgain]

I havnt got mine back yet.

[walleyepaul]

Thanks, I was thinking someone told me they got theirs back and I worried I threw mine away.

hello, could I bother you folks for some suggestions for where to take my small outboards for repair?

mercury 4 hp (1980ish) needs a water pump, and a 1982ish Johnson 15hp needs a carb cleaning and tune up, Johnson 3 hp (1991) needs a tune up

Im near Cody, but don't mind driving it to a good shop farther away. thank you for an and all help.

Troy at the marina at boysen does good work, or here in Riverton Specialty marine does a good job as well.

[SlickRockHounds]

I have always been happy with Dorm's automotive and marine in Powell.

I decided I had not been fishing near enough this summer.  I loaded up the boat and planned on a 3 day trip to Buffalo Bill.  The first thing as I left the dock, I noticed that something did not feel right.  I went to full throttle and it jumped out of gear.  I could not even get up on plane.  Stuck close to ramp but fishing was not good.  I got home and started pulling the lower unit apart.  I found the trouble soon enough.  BUT I also noticed that the drive shaft on my 115 HP Merc had a thin crack in it.  This was not something I wanted to be out on the water with when it gave out.  Guess what a new goes for $600.00 give or take.  I was lucky enough to find a used one online for $150.00.  Now all I have to do is wait and see if it is as good as he said it was.  Oh well September fishing is always better on BB anyway.

This bull snake came crawling out the back door of the shop this weekend.  It has spent the winters at my house for the last few years and was about 24 inches and now is over 43 in length.  I have found it in the garden, yard, shop, and junk pile at this time of the year but never any other time.

sterndrive engineering has complete lower units 100% new with warrentees for a good price if they have one for your motor. 

for a complete I/O alpha drive they are like $1500.00 with a 3 year no question warrentee, a outboard would be alot less.

Have a larger 5th wheel and looking for more backcountry spots to take it camping. I know cinnabar park area in snowys is pretty popular and accessible with larger rigs. Anywhere else, maybe a little less known. Enjoy scenery and fishing.

[fish/hunt4ever]

How far are you willing to travel. I have a 38 foot toy hauler and pull it up above lander on thee loop road and have no problems getting into spots to camp. Or above dubois towards Jackson there are several places to camp. Or over by pinedale almost all the camp grounds have spots for the larger campers.

Thanks fish/hunt, I've always enjoyed the Wind River Mountains so good to know I have a chance to get the camper at least close. Used to backpack and fish a bit up there, but never paid attention to the camper spots.
