In mid-March, I packed up my camo clothing, a Remington 870 Express Super Mag Turkey/Waterfowl camo shotgun, some Remington No. 5 turkey loads, some Hunters Specialties diaphragm and slate calls, and flew from my home in upstate New York to Rapid City, South Dakota. My destination? Hulett, Wyoming, an historic western town that's home to Solitude Ranch and Outfitters. Taking I-90 west into Wyoming, I got off on 14 north at Sundance, then got onto 24 north. Coming over a rise, I got my first glimpse of Devil's Tower National Monument, only nine miles out of Hulett.
