I think Cheyenne is one of those areas you kind of have to grow up in. Some people move here and like it, but a lot don't. No kidding, the wind blows pretty constant. The summers aren't bad (we usually get a couple of hot dry windstorms that blow 50-80 mph for a couple of days), but the winters can be pretty miserable. We can get terrible blizzards, but haven't had one in a while. Common storms (4-10 times a winter) are an inch or two of snow that comes horizontally. Visibility is zero, temperature is 30 degress to -40, and the wind can howl 50-80 mph for days. It has been blowing here a constant 40-60 mph for about three days. No snow but about 20 degree temp. It is miserable to do anything outdoors. Some people go nuts, I just find something to do inside or in our shop untill it breaks. It will stop and be breezy (10-20 mph winds) for a couple of days, and then it will pick up again. Antelope hunting around Cheyenne is decent, but it seems you have to go north in the State to get the really big ones. Deer hunting is poor, very few birds, and coyotes are moderate. An interesting thing around here about coyote hunting is that they are hunting a lot with dogs. People that don't have dogs usually get an old junk truck and run the fields untill they spook a coyote. When chasing a coyote, they seldom stop for fences or property lines. I am usually careful about introducing myself as a predator caller rather than a dreaded "coyote hunter." In general, hunting around Cheyenne is poor, but living in Wyoming gives you access to cheap in state licenses for some of the best hunting in the world. Not trying to scare you off, just letting you know the facts!
