My First (and Only) Bull

[Vees]

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the warm welcome. 

Longrange7mm, we've hunted the bighorns all along highway 16, from Buffalo to Ten Sleep.  Our favorite spots are on the west side of the mountains though.  Love hunting the bighorns, classic elk country.  So you used to work at North Antelope?  I spent a summer driving haul trucks at the Antelope Mine, a little further south.  It's something else driving those big trucks! 

sure is started as a temp then they found out i ran scraper before so!! hello back pain  then they put me running the D11 when i was not laying scoria. i like the west side my self no grizzlies and wolves in the big horns lol well then know they are up there more and more sightings. u hunt the limited draw 45 or general. We used to outfit in 41  42 44 but know were over on carter were my pops focuses on 385"+ hunts but they only issue 25 bull tags over there and then the governor and commissioner tags usually hunt it

Nice to hear there is someone else on here from familiar territory!  We hunt unit 45 whenever we can draw a tag.  Otherwise, we hunt units 35 & 36, although our success has been limited in those units.  Sounds like you know the area like the back of your hand, outfitting and all.  You still head back to Wyoming to elk hunt?  We applied this year, but didn't draw.

Welcome to the club of not getting drawn it seems to be the story of my life. i go back every year if i dont draw still go as a spotter and extra back  i usually get doe fawn and cow calf tags every year, i hope i drew my deer tag this year i have a good feeling about it do to the economy and all seems last years odds were better for this area, i drew my reduced cow calf tag but thats not a big deal in the area we hunt. i need about 10 more points to even be considered for a bull

I hear you, we didn't draw in Wyoming...or Montana (my whole family is from Montana, so we've got some old areas we wanted to check out)....and didn't get a good spot on the Montana alternates list.  Also, not expecting much in Washington since I've only been here a couple years.  I think our plan is to head to Idaho this year.  Time to explore some new country I guess!  Well good luck heading back to Wyoming, it'll be a great time regardless.
