Wyoming antelope 2018 photos

[Bob33]

For many years I’ve hunted antelope in Wyoming. I used to go to Wyoming to hunt antelope; the last few years it’s probably more accurate to say I hunt antelope as an excuse to go to Wyoming.

I find pronghorn antelope to be a most fascinating animal to observer, photograph, and hunt. We also find antelope meat to be the best of all wild game I’ve hunted.

Every year brings new sites and experiences, as well as memories of previous visits.

Here are a few of the images from my recent visit.

I Love the pictures of the old buildings. You look at them and wonder the history behind them. When I was a kid I used to explore the old barns at home.

Great pictures

[Eric M]

Very nice pictures thanks for sharing. I have 2 points now for Wyoming antelope.

Great pics!  I hunted the Thermopolis area this yr. and you are correct.  Wyoming is one beautiful state.

Thank you for sharing those photos, they're great! I failed to draw an antelope tag in WY again, but I wish I had been smart enough to just grab the camera and go anyway. If you don't mind sharing, what camera and lens were you using on these?

I use Nikon gear. A D7100 and D800e bodies. Lenses primarily were 50mm, 70-200 2.8 and 300 2.8.

Unreal pictures. Thanks for sharing.

[gramps]

Great photos!  Thanks for sharing. 
Many of those could have been taken in N. Central Montana where I grew up.  Especially the one of trailing sheep.  We moved several large bands from the valley to summer range and back just that way......on foot and horse back

[syoungs]

I love that area, this year was my 2nd trip to the ne part of the state, and it's starting to sound like an annual trip may have been born.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

[WAcoueshunter]

Its been 12 years for me and boy do I miss that place, Thank you for sharing.

[actionshooter]

Great Pics!
 Never hunted pronghorn, but looking forward to going this year. My buddy and I have a pile of points!

[Brushcrawler]

Beautiful place. Do you generally go on one tag, or are you able to tack on a doe tag to add to the adventure?

I go with four doe/fawn licenses and sometimes with a 5th for a buck.

[Brushcrawler]

Thanks! I think this might be a fun option for my teenage son if we had at least 2-3 tags between us for the trip.

Does are just as and in some instances more challenging to hunt as bucks.The meat is just as good and the licenses far cheaper. They provide additional opportunity.

Sounds like a great way to go....

THIS thread is how I can convince the wife to join me on a Wyoming trip. 

She can shoot with her camera and the boy & I can shoot animals   


Thanks for sharing the great pics Bob

[dc]

Antelope are a hoot.  For those of you with young hunters in the house this is a must do.  With animals being spotted all day long, it would be an amazing trip. 

[bowhunterforever]

Fantastic pics bob

[Machias]

Wow!  Stunning photos, thank you VERY much for sharing!!!

[quadrafire]

I look forward to this thread every year. Thanks for bringing us such great photos of a beautiful place

[DOUBLELUNG]

Looking for a good trophy unit in WY

[dvolmer]

I could look at pictures like these all day long!  Love the photos!!!

[trophyelk6x6]

Great pics.  I love antelope hunting and been lucky to harvest in 3 different states but Wyoming is awesome.  We drew unit 34 mulies this year but I was amazed at how many nice antelope we seen in #73 and #75.  Killed antelope in #80 and #32.  Use to be much easier to draw, now units that took 3pts are up around 6-7. 

[grundy53]

Great photos! I really enjoyed looking at them. Can't wait to go there myself.

Great photos - I love Wyoming pronghorn hunts!

  those photos are incredible! Speed goats in WY is at the top of my list to try DIY someday. That country is breath taking and what an amazing animal.
