Well so far season is shaping up. I killed a nice spring bear for WY and with my 6.5 Sherman . I also killed my best mule deer every archery hunting.
My wife and I drew antelope tags and had a bitter sweet hunt as a week prior our Lab was diagnosed with fast growing cancer. As I was wallowing in my beer my wife suggested we just road hunt with him as it would be his last trip. So we left Thursday morning. It was good hunt as she killed a good goat at 346 yards with her Creed and the next day I used her rifle to fetch one at 702 yards. I didn't take my rifle as I wasn't in the uber hunting mode and he stood on the ridge way to long. This was all on done by Saturday and ended up putting Drake down on Monday.
RIP Big Drake
Ok well wife has a deer tag and we got her on to her first mule deer and it was a good one for us. Shot at about 140 yards. That was also her first antelope.
Our son and I have quality elk tags and both drew an extra white tail buck tag so we will see here in WY. The wife and I will be going to Illinois for white tail in December so more to follow.

Well elk season is over! Old war horse down.

Sorry to read about your lose of your four legged companion. At least the last week was spent together.
Looks like a heck of a good start to hunting season though
 
Nicely done!

From your avatar, and handle I had you down as a Washington neighbor. Just noticed that's not necessarily so, it's a big neighborhood here!
 
You all made the BEST out of a sad situation. That was a great idea to bring Drake along. Nice lookin' critters ya got there. Thanks for sharing.
 
Wow what start for the season! Feel your pain, my little chocolate lab aged out this summer. Almost 17 years, her teeth would chatter and and she'd shake uncontrollably when the shot gun and vest came out!
Great photos, thanks for sharing!
