Wyoming 2022 antelope hunt with photos
« on: October 29, 2022, 11:52:55 AM »
I’ve been travelling to Wyoming since 2005 to hunt. I’ve often told myself that hunting is my excuse to visit. I would want to continue going to Wyoming even if I weren’t hunting.

This year my primary objectives were to find a nice buck antelope, and to fill our freezer with meat.

On the trip down I went through Yellowstone to get my fill of bison, waterfalls, bubbling cauldrons, and scenic views.

First up was the buck antelope. I spent a couple days looking at lots of average animals before I found one the second day worth pursuing. A mile-long stack got me within range, and a shot from my 257 Weatherby ended the pursuit.

After the buck I spent several days in the Buffalo/Sheridan area filling antherless and doe/fawn licenses. Antelope is our family’s favorite red meat. I ended up with two whitetails does and two doe antelope to fill the freezer for the year.

A highlight of the trip came while spending some time in the Teton National Forest. I happened to see some movement on a hillside, and upon closer look determined they were three grizzlies. I got close enough to see the claws, teeth, and rippling muscles on the bears with a telephoto camera lens.

My favorite animal to hunt with gun and camera is the pronghorn. There is something about their coloration, their eyesight and speed, their curiosity, and the wide open country they tend to inhabit that appeals to me.

I picked out a few photos from the trip that I hope summarize the experience.

Incredible photos! Beautiful country!

How did you string all those photos into one post?

Looks like a pretty dang great trip to me!  Great pictures and a nice goat to boot!  Thanks for sharing!

I went down to Wyoming near Gillette a couple of years ago.  Tough hunt with the private ground but still an amazing experience.  I need to just make it happen and go back...

Great report and photos, reminds me that I need to get back there.  I have been waiting for my normal unit to recover but it looks like I need to just pick another one and make it happen next year.

Thanks for the comments. I use Nikon equipment; a D810 and D800E primarily. Lenses were a 70-200mm and a 500mm for most images.

One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset
