Well the tags are filled and the goats are a pats being proccessed !!
gotta say that my wife and I have had a great time hunting Antelope for the first time in WY,
This is my Wife's first harvest of any animal besides fishing, She took a nice mature Doe and I was very proud of her, I am a lucky guy having a wife willing to rough it and hunt with me !
I learned a lot on this trip and the hunting is great here, I spoke to a couple different game wardens, everyone was real nice and as one put it, "hey this is Wyoming, We're all about the hunt".
this state is so unpopulated it's unreal and even though we drew unit 72, witch is supposed to be more dificult to hunt because of private land, it really wasnt hard at all; just study the maps and take advantage of the land owner walk -in areas.
we saw an average of 80 to 100 Antelope a day.
The first part of the hunt was pretty much to ourselves since it started in the middle of the week, then we saw more traffic on the week end but was to our advantage, while we watched others glassing from the roads, we had staked out a spot on a small hill with big rocks for cover, that had a saddle to either side, as other hunters entered the area it would drive the goats to us ,
Neither animal we took was a trophy, but it was a great experience.
can we talk about the wind, I will never complain about the wind in central Tx again, if you come up bring chap stick, sun screen, and a good unscented lotion for the evening, I work outside for a living, but I felt like 80grit sand paper after a couple days.
we will be back next year!!
Thanks Big Fin for having this show that inspired me to do this trip, we have had a great time, and one good thing is that we had almost no cell reception, being unplugged is a good thing !!
