Well told narrative. Congratulations on some excellent family time.

Yep, my daughter couldn’t get enough of it. Then both of them wanted a anatomy lesson, so the gutless tuned into a full necropsy. Smiles ear to ear and wanting to go again.

That's great.Did you then harvest the heart and liver?Good eats.
Now they know that hunting is a great outdoor activity along with all
the Museums etc.Good on you for taking your family on a wonderful
vacation with all the memories for years to come.

We salvaged what was left of her heart. Bullet went thru the top of it. We also kept the tongue to try. We are not liver people so the coyotes will have something to eat.

Didn’t look like a very long pack either

Regardless of whether or not this trip pushes your wife over the edge into moving out west, it certainly is going to be something wonderful that your kids will carry with them for the rest of their lives. You’re doing good work Addicting.

3’ to the tailgate. Rancher saw us and told me to drive out and get her. Wife was all to ready to say yes and proceed to Baja the truck while I cringed at every sagebrush.

Well that’s it for tonight, at the hotel doing some incognito butchering.

Wife is up to bat tomorrow on Antelope. Saw some good ones today so fingers crossed we can get under 250 yards with kids in tow.

 

[Gerald Martin]

This is where it's at. Nothing better than hunting with your family.

 

[LCH]

Shaping up as a great trip already!

 

[BigHornRam]

[Southern Elk]

Then even bigger Deere.

Great stuff. Just so happens I build those big green machines.

 

[Addicting]

Great way to start a Antelope hunt!

 

[Festus]

Enjoying this trip! Thanks for sharing.
Hope the antelope cooperate...

Trip looks amazing.

Congrats on the Elk. I’m heading out to Wyoming with a Cow tag in a few weeks and hope to harvest my first Elk.

What kind of camper are you towing around?

I’m towing a 19ft travel trailer from Pa that has some the anxiety level on high. Figure crossing the plains with winds is going to be sketchy.
