November 1 - Antelope Island Photowalk, Bison Roundup
By Scott Smith, host of the November photowalk
The November 2008 Photowalking Utah event will be held at the Antelope Island State Park in Syracuse Utah on November 1st. Antelope Island is home to one of the largest and oldest publicly owned bison herds in the United States. The Bison will be corralled into pens starting Oct 22nd and then will receive their health checkups starting October 31st.
The photowalk will be held at the Buffalo Pens where the rangers will be giving the bison their health checks. This is a great opportunity to get up close to the Bison and hopefully get some great photos. We can then proceed to Garr Ranch when we are finished at the pens.
Dress accordingly and bring plenty of food and water.
Here are the details for the November 1st event:
Meet in the parking lot west of the entrance gate in Syracuse. There is an entrance fee to the park $9/per car, we can break up into groups and share rides for those interested.

I've been out there for the roundup before and it's a lot of fun! Remember that you'll do a lot of walking in the sun, so bring comfortable shoes, water and either a hat or sunblock. And you'll get pretty dirty from dust sticking to your sweaty clothes so don't wear your nicest outfit to impress the rest of us. ;)
Jacom, the photowalk is not for the roundup. It will be held at the pens where the Bison will be getting their health checks. I wanted to do the actual roundup but it is during the week when most people won't be able to attend.
