Hidden Valley Animal Adventures..

[wooly]

Wow- such a cool place!
It took everything I had not to jump off the trolley and run around the fields with these critters! Good shots were kinda tough, as it seemed there was always somebodys head or a cup of grain in the way. Some shots I just had to fire away and hope for the best as we bounced along through some areas and never stopped. End of the day, me and sis had an awesome time here and would like to do it again some time. I got so many pics it's silly, so I may need to do another installment... or two!

 

 

 

 

This little elk fawn hit the ground some time last night!

[Pav2704]

Incredible! Whereabouts? The kids would love it!!!

[wooly]

I'd get myself in some kind of trouble in Africa,lol. That might be a little too wild for my style!

Pav- it's in Wyoming County, a town called Varysburg.

Deffinately a good time and all types of critters.

I was within a few miles of Varysburg this morning. 

 

Did you get to go in that big lodge they have?  What is it for?  It sure looked sweet last spring when I went by.

Yup, the lodge has a restaurant, bar, and banquet hall. They added some rooms to rent for the honeymooners. The place is really done up nice now!

The food here is also incredible and delish! I had my first elk melt burger, and damn was that tastey!

I heard rumor 2 years ago that the owner was planning on opening up a hunting preserve on some of the propperty. That came from his daughter, so I tend to believe it. You should stop by next time your in the area.

Wonder if they ever have a problem with yotes hoppin the fence , don't know how tall they r ...

[Lawdwaz]

Didn't they have a bunch of bison get free last year or the year before?  THAT would have been a cool deal to go on a "roundup" (BANG BANG!)

[Red]

Is that the one on 20a. Or 78. I think I've passed that place a few times while working out that way Nd always wondered how it was. I want to take my kids there I think they would love it

[wooly]

They had a couple escaped bison. A neihboring farmer shot one of them because they're mean,lol

I think the other found his way back to the pen.

From what they said, if any wild critters make it into the enclosure they'll likely get killed by the bison or other big nasty water buffalo. She did say they had that happen with fox and yotes sometimes.

 

That's the place Red. Right off 20A on Royce Rd. Kids will love it, and I bet you would too.
