Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge, Oklahoma
Took a trip last weekend North-West of DFW to Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. It’s 60,000 acres of unspoiled prairie land, with over 600 resident buffalo.

Thought i’d share a few photos from our trip to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge in December.
