Wyoming antelope success

[mta5672]

I was lucky enough to draw 3 great tags for my home state of Wyoming. This was the first of the three, I really hope the remaining 2 hunts are as much fun as this one. This buck was actually one of two bucks we found that we thought would go over 80. The other buck was wider and longer, this one is just a cool buck in my opinion. We dogged him for the better part of two days and he finally made a huge mistake! He left his does for some reason and came, on a trot, from over 400 yards to 75 yards where he was introduced to the 6.5-284. We put a tape on him at the taxidermist and came up with 80 7/8. Probably wont go in the book after the wait but I am pretty happy with him.

Great looking goat! My son just took a 78 inch buck in Wyoming yesterday. Was the best one we scouted and found during the hunt. We had a 1 1/4 mile stalk and then a 45 minute wait and then one great shot by my soon to be 18 year old son that was 350+ yards. Congrats so great to hear how you had to work for him.

Really a nice buck - congrats to you. Are the antelope looking pretty good this year?? Seems the spring had decent rain this year so hoping they are all fat-n-happy

I'll be leaving for Wyoming next Tuesday morning and will be in my usual unit for the 10/1 opener.
