I spent the morning riding and observing while Steve went off fishing. Steve fished on the North Platte and caught 20 fish. They were all wild and very healthy. The North Platte hadn’t been stocked in over twenty years. A much different experience than the ones he has at home on streams stocked by the NYS DEC in April.
Steve and I went back to the ropes course in the afternoon to do the Zip Line Experience again. 
Here are two young guests going on the zip line walk to the first platform. 
There had been a bear sighting near the Ropes Course and a bear trap was brought in. 
Once the bear got in he didn’t get out. We never did find out if the bear trap was successful or not.
The ranch had a small herd of buffalo. Buffalo are large and mean, There were warning signs to be aware, and to make sure that you closed gates securely after you left the pasture where they were held. As the ranch was a destination spot for hunters also, it could be arranged to shoot one of the bison. It was expensive, but could be done if you were willing to spend the big bucks. The bison ended up being nothing but trouble as they had a habit of escaping and wandering off onto the highway or neighboring ranches. As they couldn’t be transported back to the ranch they had to be shot.
No more crazy guests for the day.
Have you ever dressed like a bear for Halloween?
What would you do if you saw a bear?
Remember only you can prevent forest fires!
