Title: Gasman and Ribka's Wyoming Antelope hunt.
Post by: gasman on October 05, 2010, 09:32:13 PM: We are In Wyoming on our first antelope hunt and will post more when we get home but here is a few Pictures to get you through.

It is a first for both of us and we are having a blast. Shooting, gutting, and deboning several animals a day is tiring and takes up some time. So far we have taken 7 animals and have 4 more tags to fill.

Here's a few pic.

My antelope i took the first 15 minutes of our hunt.

Wack-em and Stack-em (I took one before we dropped these three, but don't have the pic yet)

I will give the Wackmaster1 to Ribka.

He got the conferm kill on the praire dog today.
I had blood and meat on the out side of the hole but the body must have fell in. Ribkas was on the out side of the hole :chuckle: :chuckle:

The wind was just terriable today, we had to hod over (A LOT) and we both had our first gut shot animals with the wind. It was so windy, you some times had to hold over a foot or so to hit the target :bash:

Post by: norsepeak on October 07, 2010, 09:14:03 PM: Looks like a blast guys, nice job. But I'm sure gasman had to shoot the lopes, I've seen Ribka shoot before, he's lucky if he could hit the truck when he's sitting inside it... :chuckle:

Post by: 10heiau on October 07, 2010, 09:24:56 PM: Good looking antelope. My dad and a friend are on their way home from an antelope hunt in Wyoming right now. They each tagged out with some nice bucks. Looks like a lot of fun! I want to go now!
Title: RE: Gasman and Ribka's Wyoming Antelope hunt.
Post by: Widgeondeke on October 08, 2010, 08:21:29 AM: Awesome job guys. We had a blast, pun intended on our trip to WY for lopes. I agre that taking care of even one animal per day can get tiring, let alone multiples.
