Lucky Photographer - Un-Lucky Hunter

[Lefty G-gear]

Below, are some of my Wyoming photos:

​

-Funny how you can find'em during rifle season,
but this WAS in Wyoming's only ARCHERY ONLY hunting area for Antelope! (2002)
-Now it is open for rifle.

Cloud Peak (Elevation 13,167 ft.)
-West side of the Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming.
​

-Yup! Thar's big horns... around the Bighorns...
​

'Makes ya wanna buy a bow! -They ARE within range! -Sometimes, ya can't even get within 300 yards!
​

Above photos were taken in September 2002 with the old 2.MP OLYMPUS C-700 UZ (Olympus C-700UZ Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review)

​

Below is a digitally scanned photo from film (1994).
​

And I found Wile E. Coyote on the prowl...for geese...
Wile E. thinks they are duck-billed...web-footed Roadrunners.

Nice pics, a couple of those are pretty tall.

I didn't realize 114 used to be archery only.

 

[Lefty G-gear]

Ya - the biggest I've seen alive!

They just walked right by me and my pick-up - 20-yards away....

I was laid up with a screwed-up leg...

Love that wide set of horns. He's a beauty.

That area is awesome and has some great goats even as of last year. I hunted just south of Ten Sleep last year and we saw a number of super goats. I'm gathering points to go back out there in a couple of years.

Great photos. The extra wide buck is awesome!

Someone can tell me I'm wrong, but I don't see any of those bucks scoring over 80. Typical Wyoming bucks for a lot areas in central and southern Wyoming...

 

[Lefty G-gear]

I don't know the exact procedure for scoring horns - but they are quite tall - and not so typical from what I've seen while living in Wyoming the last 20-years.
To me, those two bucks were special and un-usual.

 

[wyowinchester]

Your not wrong. No 80 scores in that group, but two shooters for sure.
