In September I spent a few weeks bow hunting Wyoming. I had deer, bear and elk tags so was keeping my options open :)

Spent the first 5 days or so hunting high country mule deer with my bow. As it was archery season I had the place to myself and also saw a few deer. Had an opportunity to take a mule deer buck with my bow but missed three times due to a stuff up with my range finder :(

Beautiful country




Then it was time to try for an elk with my bow. The elk were pretty quiet and I didn't connect with an elk either. Got very close to a nice elk but another missed chance.

Elk camp


Again amazing country and awesome time spent on horse back with some great guys :)





While I was there I got to see my taxidermy from last year :cool:



And crate it up for the trip home



I saw heaps of wildlife including grizzly bears. This mum and cub were feeding on the remains of a moose.



Planning is already underway for my trip next year. Will spend most of my time trying for a black bear.

Thanks to all the hunttalkers who have provided advice over the last few years. This forum is a fantastic place :cool:
 
Glad you had a fun trip! Beautiful country seen, and adventures with several opportunities as well, it was a successful trip for sure.
 
Awesome! Sounds like you made the best of it even without punching a tag. Glad to hear you'll be coming back. Wyoming is a pretty darn cool place.
 
Sounds like you enjoyed yourself. Thanks for sharing the pictures, especially of your bull from last year.
 
Thanks for the comments. Yeah, I had a great time. Hoping to get back next year for a bear hunt.
