LETS SEE SOME SEASON RECAPS

[nfh]

Wow, antelope season is only 9 days away. Time flies by.

So lets share some of Wyoming season recaps to get the blood flowing. I was going through my pictures for some memories. So here it is my 2012 season.


please share, I want to see


Started off with a August antelope tag. Was my first antelope with a bow so I was stoked to get this little guy. 41 yard shot pretty much dropped him in his tracks. Got the same tag this year and I am ready.. My wife got a tag to and I cant express enough how excited I am for her first big game. She doesn't feel comfortable to use her bow. I am proud of her for making that call so she will be using the rifle.



This is my hunting partners antelope. He helped me so I returned the favor, just thought I would share the pic.




I love whitetail meat so I get 4 extra tags. This is 1 out 4. I also give a couple away to some people that cant afford to hunt or in bad shape to hunt. If they cant cut the meat I chip in for the meat processer. I also was cutting this doe up into steaks and slipped with my knife and had to get stiches. I also dropped her dead in her tracks with the bow.




I was pumped to get this big ol boy. passed a lot of bucks for this dude. I entered him into a big buck contest for electrical workers in Wyoming and placed 1st and won a .270 rifle that I gave to my wife. I also won the contest by 3/8 of an inch.. He to dropped in his tracks.

Here is a video link

super wide




Proud of this bull. Passed up a lot of bulls to get this bad boy. he is featured in the latest elk hunter magazine. I still need to score him. The meat is awesome. This bull took 2 shots from the .300 mag. First shot he hunched his shoulders and took 5 steps and stood. fired again and he dropped. both shots were heart and lungs.




I also got my goat back in 2012. I got the goat in 2011. so getting him back felt pretty good.

My 2012 buck. I picked this buck out on day one of the hunt but never was in a position to squeeze the trigger as he was always out in the wide open well out of range without a means of getting into range. He had this rolling ridge that was his and could see everything around him for a mile. For 3 days I watched him waiting for an opportunity until finally I was driving to pick my hunting partner up when the buck came flying by me in hot pursuit of a doe. His mistake, as this gave me the opportunity I needed. I was able to sneak within 200 yards and let him have it... First time I have even picked and hunted one particular buck and can't wait to have the opportunity to do this again.

Here's my 2012 antelope. My son was 5 and we spent a little while trying to stalk within range of a decent buck. Shot was 72 yards with my Ruger Bisley Blackhawk .45 LC.

The buck dropped like a rock and my son said "you got him!" It was pretty fun with him along.

During one of the failed stalks he asked if we could go get a rifle so we could shoot one from a long ways away.
