Fall in Wyoming has been unusually temperate this year. While the fact that flowers are still blooming and bushes are still green continues to tamper with my sense of the time of year, I cannot complain about the added opportunities to enjoy golden days horseback. Tucker and the antelope resident to the ranch where I board him eye each other with interest. The antelope cluster here on private land, away from the small state section across the road that garners a lot of hunting and shooting traffic. Tucker and I also avoid that parcel until hunting season is over, and I am content to have a truce with the antelope we encounter. In fact, I find myself somewhat relieved I don’t have any tags this year and instead am enjoying quiet days punctuated by the sounds of Tucker’s footsteps and the creak of my saddle instead of the crack of a rifle.
