Wyoming Antelope Hunt

[Justin Crossley]

My daughter and I left about 2 pm and made good time through Washington.



We are staying at Grandma's in Spokane for the night so we had to take her out for some BBQ!



Outlaw BBQ was so good!

Made it through Montana and down into Wyoming this evening. We stopped for the night about 45 miles from our hunting spot. A few last minute groceries in the morning and then we'll be scouting!

What zone are you in that opens so early? Unless are you bow hunting?

Good luck to ya Justin! I imagine you are out there looking for the right one by now. Beautiful morning.

Perfect morning here in Wyoming. We are having some Black Rifle coffee and waiting for the grocery store to open up.

 

[Fitzwho]

I’m headed that way this afternoon.

Nice rig BTW. Don't forget the donut... a man's gotta have a donut the first morning out, lol.

We have seen a few bucks today. Nothing giant but some decent ones I think.

I think with the way things are in Wyoming as to herd and herd depletion reports he would be on the ground. Perhaps not a giant but looks to me like a decent one. Good luck on your hunt.

A couple more bucks we saw this evening. Unfortunately I have really bad service here so I won't be able to update as often as I would like.

Swear to God I think I saw that first buck there this morning. Area 73. I recognize those kinda s curve horns. Probably not the same but its funny how similar they look.

Casper native here. I hunted pretty hard today for the morning and most of the afternoon. Only saw a couple bucks. Pretty slim pickins this year like others have said. I remember as a kid there were herds of literally hundreds of em running around.

That first buck is a pretty damn good critter!! Keep tabs on that guy. He's over 75" all day, I think Id have a hard time not shooting him.

Yeah, he is well into P&Y score. A pretty nice buck. Not a booner, but I agree with 72"-75"... maybe a bit better. Pics are always hard to judge to the inch, but I would have put an arrow in him without thinking twice.
Keep the pics coming!

A nice’un, & nice photo. What picture taking attachment gadget are you using?

 

[Jgill19]

I think he's 15" and looks like he's carrying mass pretty decently. I don't see him under 75" but as always with goats, you never know for sure till they hit the ground. Like the above post said great pics and keep them coming!!

 

[Justin Crossley]

We've seen a bunch more this morning. Found a huge area with multiple herds. It's very hard to judge them from any distance at all with the heat waves.

All the photos are with a Galaxy S20 FE using the Revic spotting scope and Novagrade double gripper.



I think this is the biggest buck we've seen. Tough to get a clear photo at 1270 yards but you can see his cutters are high and he appears to carry his mass throughout.

Awesome!
