Wyoming Bucks

wybighorn · Dec 16, 2011

We had a great fall this year. I was really excited to have my son hunt with me. He finally turned 12 and he was really excited to finally have a turn at this fun stuff we call hunting! My son harvested his first big game animal in August. He shot a nice 13? antelope with his bow.
He followed that up with his first deer, a nice 18? 4x4. My dad spotted the buck from a distant ridge and helped us work into shooting range. It was a really proud moment for me to watch my son take his first deer!

This is a picture of my Dad?s 6x4. He?s 30.5 inches wide! His first 30" buck! I actually missed this buck earlier in the hunt. After missing him, we came back to the same area a few days later and killed this wide, old buck.

We also found this great shed during the hunt too. A little bonus after spending hours behind binoculars and spotting scopes.

Looking back, I'm glad I missed the wide buck! I told my Dad, even though his is wider I think I got a better buck than he did! I love you Dad

This is a picture of my Dad holding my buck. He?s a 25.5? 5x3. He?s nice and heavy. He could be the best buck I've ever taken. I love those big deep back forks! It was awesome to share time with Dad and my son. I'm thankful to live in a state with such great opportunities. Also, big thanks to mulecreek, WyoXtec, and of course my good friend bucklover for the help and support.

Thanks for your kind words. Absolutely memories to last a life time! Great pictures of your son, but what a treasure to have this picture of your Dad. Looking forward to many more great memory moments!

Nice bucks all the way around. That shot with your son packing his buck out is great. I look forward to my boys first hunts. They are only 5 and 4 so it will be a few years. Great job and I am glad you all had fun.
