Title: WY antelope buck
Post by: GUHunter on October 02, 2012, 11:24:03 PM: I moved to Wyoming a little more than a year ago and this was my first hunt in my new state. Planned on having to take at least a couple hundred yard shot but ended up catching him bedded at about 50 yards :yike: I was as surprised to see him as he was to see me. I saw the "oh s^*t!" on his face as i raised the rifle. :chuckle: Passed up a few and am pretty happy with him.

I could not really see the horns on my monitor. I hope you don't mind I tried to clean it up a little. Looks like good mass and height. Very nice!

I don't mind at all. I can't see them well on mine either. It needed to be done. I was all alone and it was warm so I didn't take much time on field photos before I got to work!

Post by: Bob33 on October 03, 2012, 09:56:16 PM: A fine trophy, and some great meat. Wyoming antelope is about as good as it gets in my opinion.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Post by: GUscottie on October 04, 2012, 07:15:36 PM: He shot it west of Worland, you are correct. He showed me the area when I was doe/fawn antelope hunting in September. I have to admit, I'm very proud of the goat you got, I'm just sad we couldn't pull off your hunt with me in town. Congrats Nate! You deserve a trophy like this...next, my mule deer and your elk!! :bfg: :hunter:

You are correct. Not living in the coastal state anymore, I find east/west getting mixed up in my mind at times for some reason.
