Ventured out to WY last Sat with my pal Josh, his brother AJ, and daughter Rachael. Put in for tags in March. Virgin Antelope hunters here. Clueless. Walked with a gun quite a bit, saw some awesome scenery.
There were tons of mulies mainly does. Ground is full of cactus so your last approach over hilltops can be painful!
AJ scored the only kill on Tues. This was week 2, some areas had carcasses, and the Wisconsin Militia who stayed at the same place as us, seemed to have luck the previous day. There is a lot of public land out there, interspersed with private, and guess where the goats were?
We would see nice bucks along the road, on the private land. Close enough you could pop them with a rock.
6.5 Creedmoor with Hornady ELD-X factory ammo is quite good medicine.
Stopped at Rushmore and Devils Tower on the way, and a minuteman site on the way home.
A fun trip with great friends. A little disappointing to not have scored myself, however I miss the West and it's always a treat to visit.
Better luck next time!
