I (Heart) Spring!
BrushBuckCreated Tuesday, 01 May 2012The snow is melting, the roads are open, and the wildlife is migrating back to their summer range. Oh, and BEARS, BEARS, BEARS! As we make our way back into the interiors of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, we are reminded of who really rules these parks in the summer time! Both grizzly and black bears have been observed throughout the park as they rumble around looking to put on some pounds lost during their winter sleeping "diet". I wish I could lose weight by sleeping! As the bears move, so do the elk, mule deer, moose, pronghorn, actively foraging on the new green shoots appearing as the snow disappears until next fall. Speaking of pronghorn, did you know that the Jackson Hole pronghorn herd migrates over 100 miles to their winter habitat? Think of them as exotic sports cars, like the Ferraris you see cruising around Jackson in the summer, they are nowhere to be found come winter time. Pronghorn have a high metabolism and cannot survive in the deep snow that blankets the valley in winter. So while looking for bears, keep an eye out for the pronghorn, the toughest four legged "snowbird" in the Rocky Mountain West!
Hope to see you soon!

Winter Wolves and Wildlife!
BrushBuckCreated Friday, 02 March 2012March just might be our snowiest month this season! While the skiing is good, the wildlife has been exceptional! In particular, our Winter Wolf & Wildlife tours were a great success this season! Many thanks to our guests and our guides for their hard work! Throughout all the tours we saw over 60 different wolves from 8 packs! We will be posting our new winter 2012-2013 dates soon so check back or contact us for information!! Other winter wildlife viewing has been spectacular as well. Bighorn sheep, moose, mule deer, bald eagle, coyotes, & pronghorn (in Yellowstone), have all been abundant this winter in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
This Spring and Fall we are proud and excited to offer a multi-day trip throughout Grand Teton & Yellowstone. Spring and Fall are great times for observing both grizzly and black bear, as well as wolves! Please see our 3 - Day Adventure for dates and more information.
We are looking forward to an exciting spring and summer and hope to see you real soon!
Sincerely,
The Staff @ BrushBuck Guide Services

2011 has come and gone, but 2012 is going to be even better at BrushBuck Guide Services! We've added a four day winter wolf tour that we are currently running. Over Christmas, BrushBuck Guides Adam and Ezra observed different wolves from different packs in different parks on all four days! Also, BrushBuck Guide Services will be adding new multi-day tours this summer, so stay tuned for updates! And last but certainly not least, we will be offerring a South African Safari trip. You read right, BrushBuck is jumping the pond this year and we are proud and very excited to offer an African safari to see not only the big "5" (lions, rhinoceros, leopards, elephants, cape buffalo), but great white sharks as well! We will have tour information posted on our website very soon, but please call if you would like additional information on this awesome and unique adventure!
