2016 Wyoming adventure BBD
« on: November 17, 2016, 06:57:46 AM »
After 10 years of points building I decided this was the year to attempt to draw my Wyoming limited entry Buck tag. I applied and was excited to see the I did draw the tag. Plans  were made and two of my best hunting partners agreed to come along. What a hunt. Tons of deer every day. Passed on many 170" class bucks and several pushing 180" After 4 days found this one we thought may go 190". He fell just short with a broken kicker and eye guard at 186". Could not be happier! Many thanks to Andrew and Willy for helping to make this a trip of a life time.
Dan.

Congrats Dan!! You put the time in and you deserve a buck like that. Way to go.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Do you mind saying what unit? If it took ten years of points to draw its probably not a secret but I'm curious. I have ten points also. I've been building for a while and have tried for a tag the last couple of years instead of just points. So far no luck.
Great buck.

Great looking buck and awesome campsite.  That is the kind of hunt I'm saving points for.
