Fatcamp goes to Wyoming

[Olympics777]

Thanks for telling us about your season!

 

[Fatcamp]

Ugh. Not a single whitetail today. Too cold tomorrow for the kid so I'm going solo. Any, and I mean any, whitetail is fair game.



Day started nice but then a snowstorm blew in followed by brutal wind. At least tomorrow is supposed to be calm.

 

[hobbes]

Same snow that came through here last night. Good luck tomorrow.

 

[Fatcamp]

13°. LOL. No wind.

So cold and calm I listened to the Regina, Canada local talk show on the way.

 

[Fatcamp]

5 whitetails. 3 bucks. 450. Ugh.

 

[Fatcamp]

Everything split up and bed. Biggest buck pushed the hot doe to a creek bottom. Got one at 230 bedded deep in the sage.

 

[Fatcamp]

OK. Came back to eat turkey and get the kid. The deer I found are all in one small area and I'm afraid if I shoot one the will scatter to the winds.

Headed out with my posse now.

 

[TxxAgg]

Good luck

 

[wapitibob]

Go get ‘em
Have fun out there

 

[Fatcamp]

No luck but a good time was had by all.

Overall a nice Thanksgiving. Ate dinner at an American Legion which was very nice. Weather this afternoon was amazing.

Last chance in the morning.

 

[FatCampzWife]

Some eye candy from this afternoon...

 

[hobbes]

Good luck tomorrow

 

[Fatcamp]

Back home. No deer for us. Those things are cagey.

Thanksgiving morning I had options but really wanted to give the kid an opportunity. Just didn't pan out for us. In the future I will push for him to go with on those high opportunity days. These whitetail hunts have gone well. The first time we had these tags 2-3 years ago we didn't even see one.

Work for a bit and then time for my wife's muzzleloader tag.

Congratulations on a great season !

 

[Fatcamp]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Headed west again. Worked my last shift at my job last night, on to new adventures. Brother and family are staying at the house, they looked surprised we were leaving to go hunt. LOL. Been telling them for a month. Nonhunter obviously.

This trip its the youngest kid and dog coming with us. Wife has a muzzleloader any deer tag and I have a rifle elk tag. Never done either one, but we know how to find deer and we know where we have seen elk. So there is that.

 

[Fatcamp]

No elk or mule deer bucks. We did find a pile of whitetail doe so if worse comes to worse the Muzzleloader Princess will take one of those. And we found an area holding elk, lots of sign, no elk seen.

Here she is stalking today.



Turned out to be all does.

 

[Fatcamp]

I would have went down there, but it would have been miserable to pack an elk out. Have yet to see an elk. Found mule deer bucks and whitetail bucks on public today, just not what she is after.



Wonder dog found this today. Got to be careful with dogs on public land. Pretty sure it is set for mountain lions.



We are all burned out I have decided. Except the dog. He is loving every minute of it. Been a long Fall, the rest of us are tired.

Probably a bobcat set.

Maybe so. Seemed like a big trap for a bobcat. 6-8" across? And heavy. Suppose those cats go wild when caught, though.

It did have a rope with feathers attached to it hanging off a nearby tree.

 

[jmez]

I'd guess bobcat.
