Wyoming Success!
« on: October 09, 2008, 12:31:10 PM »
Well, here are a couple pics of myself and my dad's deer we bagged in Wyoming.  Due to college I only got to hunt about 2 1/2 days.  So, we drove the night through on Thursday and got to camp around noon on friday.  Knowing my limited amount of time my dad told me to go ahead and get an afternoon hunt in and he would wait for the rest of the guys to get there and set up camp.  I got probably a mile or so into the sage covered hills when i spotted this guy bedded up on a red rock hillside.  Managed to get within 295yrds and the Tikka .280 remington did the job!  Got him boned out and was back to camp by 4pm.   :IBCOOL:


My dad got this nice 4x4 a couple days later.



Jake was in our camp and he should be back sometime today and should hopefully get some of his pics up.  He shot the biggest antelope ive ever seen in person.

Nicely done, besides the brows the antlers are very close, obviously the same genes.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Great hunt - way to get after it and maximize your hunting time!  Proof how quicky a hunt can come together and end with some great memories.  Congrats!

Nice bucks. Where did you go to? Last year my father and some friends went to Wyoming for antelope, in Medicine Bow. We saw a few elk but no deer. I want to go back with my father and deer and antelope would be great.

Gorgeous animals- nice symmetry on both.  Congrats!
A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than that of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact.

We hunted the NE corner around Sheridan.  Really cool country around there.  Rolling sage covered hills from horizon to horizon... gotta love it.

Beautiful symmetry, Wow! Super nice Bucks!

I hunted Antelope out of Gillette a long time ago, tons of fun, horrible tasting beasts! Worst meat I've ever eaten, and they didn't go bad either, smelled like that right on the ground. (Best meat Ive ever eaten was also Pronghorn, out of central MT. Wierd.)

Great going!!!!
