[QUOTE="waspocrew, post: 1355605, member: 78732"] This trip was something I had been looking forward to for a number of years. Since moving east for medical school a few years ago, I had really missed western hunting. I was fortunate to draw a good number of tags for WY this fall and had time to head west for a 12 day hunt. I'm in the process of applying to residency and this trip couldn't have come at a better time! This would be the first time my 6.5 Sherman would be out in the field and it performed just as I had hoped with the 140 VLD. On the first day, this antelope was too goofy looking to pass up. One shot at 507 and he was down for the count: [ATTACH=full]83013[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]83014[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83015[/ATTACH] Next up was the elk opener. Tagged my first bull elk and was definitely happy with him! [ATTACH=full]83016[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83017[/ATTACH] Shot my best buck to date a few days later. 375 yards DRT: [ATTACH=full]83018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83020[/ATTACH] Finished up my hunt with a nice cow elk on my second to last night. Had to shoot across a canyon at 583 yards. Took us a while to find her in the dark, but had a blast packing meat out! Residency will likely put more of a damper on my time, but I'm hoping I can get out again next fall! [ATTACH=full]83021[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]83022[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
