Great deer everyone! Got lucky in WY yesterday. Also got to see my first Shiras bull today.
That is a very unique and cool looking rack!Great deer everyone! Got lucky in WY yesterday. Also got to see my first Shiras bull today.
Dang… you almost passed him? Tell me you’re from a state with good hunting without telling me you’re in a state with good hunting. He’s a beaut!!Deer opener turned into a wolf hunt within the first hour. After running out the pelt to get checked and into a freezer, I rode back in. Next morning, I went in after another wolf and found this guy. This buck had just shed velvet, and his white &red antlers immediately stuck out. I passed on him and just watched as his horns browned up as the blood dried. Being sick, I decided I didn't have much energy to change areas. After a few hours, I figured had misjudged him (turns out I didn't). Unfortunately, he bedded and I had to sit for 3½ hours as rain and snow moved in. Weak mains really hurt his score. 28"wide, 5"+bases, 173¾". He sure was purty from the front, though! Just sad deer season lasted two mornings...

Sorry about the short season….Wyoming deer season lasted 14 minutes for me this year
