So this , was and has been a long read . I've been into it for a while . I have not been to Wyoming ( other than cutting the southeast corner to head into Colorado ) since summer of 2006 . Holy **** what an idiot I was . Stayed out side of Dubois . With my 2 dogs and wife and kid in tow I traipsed around like a jackass . Riding my enduro on the trails , fishing in the mountain lakes and driving in the truck . Had my Ruger no 1 220 swift in case I could get a shot at a coyote . Having been in the area for several years before snowmobiling , bears were never an issue . I asked a guy when the snakes came out and decided first week of June would be best . Never thought about bears coming out of hibernation . On our trip out we drove through Yellowstone , I got a lot of pictures of grizzlies and some a little closer than I should have . Big difference between 35 and 53 . I now go nowhere without my sig P220 .45 and I can shoot it very well . By the way what is CNS ?
