September 2010 was my first Western big game hunt. Used this board regularly as a reference before I went. Now I am getting revved up to head back to Wyoming in September. Figured I should post a few pics.
The buck I killed was nothing "special" but I knew in advance it wouldn't be. This was my first traveling big game hunt and I had made up my mind to shoot the first buck I got a "can't miss" shot at.
I was so darned excited that I didn't notice that one of his prongs was broken and one of the tips was too. But it was a GREAT "trophy" to me!
After my buddy and I had filled our tags, we spent a couple of days glassing and doing a few mock stalks before we went to Western Wyoming to hunt Sage grouse. While we were doing the mock stalks, I got within 150 yards of a buck with almost perfect heart shaped horns. I'M HOOKED! There will be no "if it's brown it's down" for me this year.
I won't kill a monster this year (unless it is by pure luck) but I am going to hold out for some well shaped horns.
I'm getting itchy!!!!
