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.
