It took five long days, a lot of miles on the boots, a little timely luck and a lot of help from my friends, but we finally got it done on the Wasatch late rifle hunt. Two shots at 380 yards from my 6.5 PRC did in this big boy. 344" with 21" thirds.
We had a great time. Like a lot of Wyoming, it is checkerboard, but not tough to get around. We did a VRBO in Saratoga, which is turning into a little bit of an artist community. Shot four bucks in two days, the biggest was 71", and hit the hot springs at night. Lots of friendly people, and...
Congrats on a gorgeous buck and, yes, they can get crazy stupid during the rut. Not sure what unit you hunted but I drew the Utah West Desert Riverbed tag a few years ago and they were going nuts while we were out there. One day as we drove along the road that borders the Dugway Proving...
Headed for unit 50, along the North Platte for goats. We'll probably wait until about 15 October - two college kids with a long weekend break from school.

My mother was recently cleaning out a closet in her home (dad passed away in 2014) and came across a High Standard Mfg. Camden Conn, NATO Pintail shotgun, serial number 3054159 (20 gauge - 2 3/4" - 3"). None of my siblings hunt or shoot much so I ended up with it. I looked around on line a...
Yeah, I figure Murphy's law will be in effect - buy a tag and I'll see zero bulls - not buy it and a big one will step out. We're focused on deer and plan on hitting it hard, dark to dark for four or five days. Looking forward to getting to know some new country.
