JACKSON, Wyo. — There’s no better way to celebrate spooky season than with some good ol’ pumpkin carving. Buckrail readers shared photos of their Jack-o’-lanterns, some of which are Jackson-themed.

From an iconic cowboy to classic triangle eyes and jagged teeth, these pumpkins show off valley residents’ creative side.

“When living in bear country, never leave a pumpkin outside overnight or while you’re away. Pumpkins left outside are an unnatural food source and can be a factor in habituation for bears and other animals,” said the National Park Service.

Happy Halloween from the Buckrail team!
