I want to encourage you Sir! In October of 2000 I had a neck Fusion, plate/4 screws/cadaver bone. I had an antlerless Mule Deer tag for the Deseret Ranch out here near Evanston WY. I was supposed to go in November but was only able to go later in December. Dr tells me (in front of my wife) I...
Been really busy lately so haven't done any outdoor activities lately but did check Wyoming results this morning. My boys and their buddy drew type 1 antelope tags, and I struck out on my doe tag.
5th hunt was UT gen deer. Our standard for this hunt was to take the first legal bucks we could as we only had a weekend to hunt. We went three for three and had a blast hanging out.
6th hunt was ID cow elk. I went solo and was able to connect before dark.
It has been a great season so far...
Couple antelope tags, couple doe/fawn WTD tags, cow elk tag, and general deer and elk. My excitement grew as I scrolled down and saw Successful under deer, only to remember I put general as a second choice, haha.
I'm personally a huge fan of Wyoming. But then again I'm a resident and every year I've had residency I've managed to draw and fill three antelope tags, one any antelope tags and two doe fawn tags. They are my favorite animal to eat.
I didn't get out to shoot a few weeks ago but did shoot the thor bullets today. Pretty happy with the performance at short distance. Going to try the Hornady bullets tomorrow.
Bad news on the antelope/ doe whitetail Wyoming hunt. The unit we were going to is on fire. Feel bad for the people...
No... they don't.
They are chasing $$$, otherwise we wouldn't be in this predicament.
And this ends in 2013 when it was "the good ol' days".
Much worse now.
Every hay field had 200-300 antelope. Now... maybe 6-8.
If your shooting instincts are good enough to kill a antelope at 114 yards you should probably quit building those 300k dollar houses in Bozeman and start filming yourself.
About every two years I draw an antler-less elk tag for the tall grass prairie, which is rolling with some deep canyons on the fringe.
WIND JUST RULES!. Some bursts can make it hard to stay standing. Now and then, there are calm moments.
Some years ago, I bought a Kimber hunter in 280AI. It...
I shot my doe antelope at 114. She didn’t go 20…. I’d had multiple shots at <45. One of them, as soon as I hit the release the goat whirled and it paralleled his body at like 25 yards… I was so upset at such a slam dunk MISS. Idk what possessed me to take the shot but I felt good, and it was...
32 did ok in bad winter. He can find a doe if they want to hunt it. Was just in that area a week ago, antelope are there.
Good area to hunt that doe then go fishing nearby.
I returned to the area I had seen the big buck the night before the season opened, hoping to re-locate them and make a plan for opening morning. Of course, after several hours of looking I was unable to find them. Finally, on a hunch, I picked up and drove to a distant vantage to look out onto...
What an incredible experience to share with your daughter. Sounds like this experience certainly shaped the hunter that she will become. Great work dad!
Curious what made you settle on extra light arrows at 310+fps? I know that was a fad in the early 2000’s, you just don’t see a lot of guys doing it anymore. Has worked well for you.
Personally I have a limit of 400m +-. This is NOT based on my shooting ability or my equipment. I shoot quite a bit with work and have been blessed by the lords of discount/freebies to have nicer equipment than I could have hoped for. I will shoot targets out as far as the range I am at...
