My son is a senior in high school this year, and the one hunt he really wanted to do before shipping out to the Marine Corp next June was a Wyoming antelope hunt. It really was a blast.
After and 11 hour drive, my son got this big mature buck just 10 minutes into the hunt. He just could not pass it up. This buck is about 14", and scores in the mid-70's, Just a heavy, mature Wyoming buck.
After getting Jr's buck taken care of, and blowing a long stalk on another buck, we saw this buck. The minute I saw him, I knew we were done looking. Not matter how long it took, I was going to get this buck on the ground.
After a blown stak or two, and a warning shot or three, we decided to back out and let the buck settle down. An hour or two later, I was finally able to connect. This is by far my biggest buck, and first of mine to break the magical 80" mark.
It had been several years since I had taken out my trusty Model 70 30-06. I've had this rifle since I was 12 years old. It was time to take her out of the safe. My son made me the sling out of paracord for Father's Day. Somehow, using that rifle with that sling made it a little more special.
Thank you Wyoming, and even more, thank you Buzz for the information. My son and I will alway appreciate it.
