Except for the west end, there aint no trees!
The problem is that there is a corollary for women.
It goes "on the other side of every tree there is a toad."

Never heard that sayin', but I reckon you can have every one you find behind a tree.
BTW there is a lot of cactus, stunted sage brush, 1 prairie dog, and at least 8 antelope in that picture, but I don't see any wimmen.
Closest I have heard to that statement is, "Behind every sucessful rancher, there is a wife with a job in town."

Reminds me of the Alaska saying for women about men, "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."

Don't they have the reciprocal "You're just a short plane ride from being ordinary again?"

I never heard that sayin' before either, but if you look real close at Iggy's picture, you can just make out a tree up on that little mountain in the background, just under the snowcap.

I have heard this saying. The first time I heard it was in the 70's.
Come on up to north eastern Wyoming and you will see why.

Kinda like the sayin' we have down here; " A working wife is better than a rent house."Never heard that sayin', but I reckon you can have every one you find behind a tree.

Once upon a time, [true story] when I was deer, antelope and prairie dog hunting in Wyoming I bought a shirt in the NEW YORK STORE in Buffalo Wyoming that said:
"Wyoming, where Men are Men
and Sheep are Nervous"
"Wyoming, where Men are Men
and Sheep are Nervous"
I don't know why they would say that.........
BTW, that feller is wearin a black hat, mine's white.
This calls to mind a story I read in the Gillette newspaper some years ago. It was in the "police Reports." I won't go into detail - I'd probably be banned if I did, but let's just say that it involved a goat, a hardhat liner and a guy smokin' a pipe. I'll leave the rest to your imaginations. This State can be pretty strange sometimes.

There are strange people and strange places in every state.
I hunted deer and antelope in Wyoming at least 6 years in a row, maybe 7.
I have done a horse back deer hunt and a couple of horse back elk hunts.
And I have hunted Prairie dogs 4 times there in addition. I have some good friends that live in Wyoming.
I have driven through the state at least 20 other times, and spent at least one night in the state each time.
I have been to Yellowstone Park at least 6 times. Usually for at least a week some times for as long as 3 weeks.
I never met a Wyoming Resident that was not Good People.
I can say the same for Montana and Idaho too, I have been to those states a few dozen times as well.
