mixed Deer Season results

[Rob]

Well, a new job has both kept me out of the field and off the board - just to slammed.

Washington was not kind to me in the three days i was able to be out hunting, but my Dad and i did get a couple of decent Mulies in Wyoming (I made sure when I took the job that I could take 2 days to hunt with Dad-that annual trip is a top priority!)

We went in early October.  It was 16 degrees with 30 mph sustained wind on the tops of the hills and gusts over that.  I snuck around a ridge line and managed to get a 75 yard shot on mine, and Dad took an amazing 325 yard shot from the top of a hill into a valley to get his-not too bad for a guy pushing 74 with two new knees and a new ankle!  Note the blond shoulder on his buck.  kinda odd.

We did Pronghorn the day before.  Slim pickings this year due to a spring storm that put the hurt on the prongs-we normally have 200 to 500 animals to look over.  I think we saw 40.  The weather was much nicer that day! limited wind and temps in the 20's with some sun.

Those are great looking animals, way to go! I agree that is a very interesting mark on your dad's buck. I've never seen one with blonde like that. Where abouts in Wyoming were you guys hunting?

[Rob]

He is having the hide tanned due to the unusual blond spot.

We were North of Gillette, near a place (I hesitate to call the two buildings a town) called Spotted Horse if you know the area.

Great Job...very nice bucks and probably an even better time by the looks of it.

Congrats!  Trips with the "more experienced" are always memorable.
