First pronghorn!

[1_pointer]

I was able to get a doe pronghorn permit for WY. I went over Thurs., day before my tag opened, to find a few. Got a couple of small groups located then set up camp. Ran into an older fellow last night and he told me of a couple hanging out in a 'park' above camp. Looked for them this morning but didn't find them. Started towards the area where I saw some last night and saw two does feeding across a hill. Checked to make sure it was public land as there's quite a bit of private land in the area, got a hill between me and them, topped it, found 'em. One 200gr bullet from a .338 Win Mag was all it took!

Fried up some of the backstraps for dinner, not too bad!

Oak, I took her back to camp for pics so as to not give away my honey-hole! FWIW, this is the same area miller and I have seen pronghorn go through trees and at over 9700ft!

background!

Way to go Tyler. Obviously you kill well when my bad luck is not around.

How were the crowds? Did you look for any deer. I am guessing you didn't have time with a dead goat in tow.

Crowds weren't bad. Only saw one other vehichle chasing goats, but lots chasing moose. Didn't look for any deer as I wanted to get the goat in the freezer and worked OT on Sat.
