Another Wyo 13 deer

[lone hunter]

Here is my Wyo 13 deer. True to On Your Own this is a public land DIY hunt. Here is a brief story.

One of those few times where it seemed easy, at least to get one. I worked my way down to the area that I had planned on hunting on the opening morning by about 8:00. By 8:20 this one busted out of some quakies. I got my rifle on some shooting sticks and waited for him to clear some brush. I was on him and he stopped broadside, about 130 yards away. After I shot he did the “mule kick” with his back legs. I got up to the spot I though he was standing, there was no blood but fresh tracks and churned up dirt. I followed that trail for about 75 yards down off the edge of a steep area through some rocks and there he lay in a bed. I had to bone him out and pack him with three trips but a very satisfying hunt. The picture really does not show his mass. His bases are 5” around and other than a 2” difference in the back forks almost perfectly symmetrical.
