What an awesome trip. More pics and stories to follow. 9 tags filled. WOOHOOOOO!!!
-
What does that thing have coming out of the back of his head!??!? :yike: Nice work!!
-
It had two extra horns. FREAK!!!!
Here's mine.
-
MH will have to post up his own. Those two got really great bucks. I need to learn to judge. :'(
-
Holy crap what the heck kind of freak of nature is that thing?
-
Dandy Bucks, that freek is SAWEET!!!
-
With those extra horns...it must make some sort of record?!
Bitchin.
-
Holy cow, how do they measure that crap. LOL
-
Nice work guys, that freak is FREAKING AWESOME need some more pics with some different angles. cant wait to hear the story.

Hope he posts his pics. I don't have any from the top but he does. It's a great buck. 6" bases 4" cutters and 14" tall. I have no idea if they score the weird horns. MH's was just under 14" I think. We thought mine was 13+ based on the height of the cutters but it was only in the 12's with a quick measurement. He has about an inch of ivory on one side though. The other side is broken. :bash:
-
that freak buck is cool, congrats to him
-
that thing will make an awesome mount! :drool:
-
you all did great,sounds like a much better time than the last trip..good job guys
-
Holy cow, Sounds and looks like you guys had a great trip, 9 lopes and how many bullets?. Did you get any coyotes? :chuckle:
-
That 4 horned buck is awesome. Yours isn't bad either.
-
:o Awesome way to go.. That freak of nature is incredible.. Interested in how it will score ? Great job guys !!
-
sounds like you had a great trip

Didn't see one coyote or prairie dog.
I shot 7 times. 2 one shot kills but I missed my buck twice and hit it twice. Got my first Muzzy kill though :IBCOOL:
Not sure how many times matt and chris shot. Matt didn't miss I know that. :chuckle:
-
My plan was to get one with a muzzy, one with a .44, and one with a rifle. On the first day we spotted a group of lopes out in a small valley that we thought we could get to. MH and Chris grabbed the 30/30's with iron sites and I grabbed my muzzy. We put a good stalk on the lopes but they had moved so we didn't have a shot. All we could do is wait them out and hope that they moved behind a large rock outcrop. We sat and watched for 10 minutes or so and they actually did go behind the rock. Anyhow we all got intp a great position and waited. A big doe stepped into view first and I had her in my sites but she stopped directly behind a big rock out of site. Another smaller one walked by and joined her out of veiw. The all of the sudden we see one staring right at us. Any of you who have hunted these animals know what it's like to be pinned by an antelope. They lock on and just STARE!!!! :bash: So I got her in my sites and got ready. Another little fawn walked right in front of her but kept going. I dropped the hammer and whacked her good. She trotted off about 20-30 yards and stood still then wavered and fell. I got up to her and of course the Gutpile luck holds true. She was a fawn. She was tiny! that little one that walked in front of her must have been about the size of a coyote. Anyways it was a hell of a fun stalk and it's my first muzzy kill so I'm pretty happy. Matt and Chris didn't get shots but we did get it on film. :IBCOOL:
Here's the lil girl.
-
My first Doe kill was a small one also. On our first morning we saw a doe and 2 bucks hanging out together, so i decited to drop the doe (buck tag filled the night before). She was about teh size of that one. I thought it was pretty good untill Ribka droped a doe 15 minutes later and mine was a dwarf compaired to his.
We figured out, that the small doe's hang with the bucks and bigger does hang with other doe's and fawn's. Ater that, we just looked for the heards of all doe's, with maybe a buck or two before we even really looked at them.

Nice job guys! That non-typ is sweet looking.

I would not know, we drove to everyone and picked them up and put them in the back of my truck :rockin: :rockin: :rockin: :rockin: :rockin: :rockin:
-
We did a couple like that but tried to do a bit more stalking. This is my buck being carried out by Chris. I guess he thought the old man couldn't do it. :chuckle: Fine with me. I had a relaxing stroll back to the truck. We were probably 3/4 mile off the road on this one.
-
We found out the hard way, that game carts don't go well in the sage brush :rolleyes:

We had a great time on this hunt, cant wait to do it again. I was hoping to use a couple of short range weapons on this hunt, but it didn't work out that way and I ended up using my .260 on all three animals. I ended up using 4 shots this trip. I was hoping for a couple hundred including the praire dogs.
I can also recommend Casper Community Hospital, they were all very friendly. It's amazing how fast a fun hunt can turn real serious. while removing the legs off of my last doe. my knife slipped on bone and turned itself on my wrist. Luckily nothing serious was cut and after 8 stitches I'll be fine.

That non typical buck is awesome.. Never seen anything like that. Looks like you guys had a great time. Nice work!
-
wow that sticker buck and non typ is 2 once in a life time bucks! :drool:
-
I thought we were supposed to keep that hospital visit quiet. :chuckle: Knucklehead!
You are right though it could have been very bad indeed.
-
Well at least now everytime MH looks down and sees the scar he'll be reminded of a great hunt. Not a bad thing.
-
keep coming back to look at THAT BUCK!!! havent seen that many antelope, but never seen anything like that. sswwweeet
-

:yeah: :drool: Congrats guys
-
That is awesome... Looks like a blast.
So a few questions. My son will be 12 next year. Would you recomend this hunt? I can hunt with the best of them and shoot to. But i want him to expierence something like this.

Absolutely, the hunt can be as hard or easy as you want it to be. There is plenty of walk-in-only and public land. You will also see lots of animals, nothing I've ever experienced before. If you want to go on the cheap just apply for doe/fawn tags, you can get them for under $50, most years you can get two, and often times up to four.

The buck with 4 horns is gnarly looking!

When that heals, I'd go get a tattoo where the stitches were......kinda crazy, but that's me. Just think of the stories !!!!!! 8)
