    2018 Wyoming Epic Combo Hunt Adventure Story (Pics)

    Dad ended up getting a forky. He was happy. Probably his last trip out of state. I'm glad he was there. We dropped all the deer off at the butcher and took a day to chill around camp. It was a nice warm 27 degrees. I want to thank all of the guys for making it a great trip. It was the perfect...

    2018 Wyoming Epic Combo Hunt Adventure Story (Pics)

    After not getting any deer activity for a few days we had to make a change. I got the guys to check out a different area. We went down in elevation were the oak type trees met the sage brush. There was more camps and hunters. It appears the deer had moved because of the snow. I told Bryan to...

    The next few days we hiked a lot. Five days straight we got into bugling elk. Not just way off in the distance. We were busting elk 30 to 100 yards a couple times a day. I was surprised by all the rutting and bugling activity. It really made us think about doing the general hunt there in the...

    Sorry this is so long winded. I'm having fun telling the story. I'm struggling at getting the pictures right side up. I might have it figured out now. By the end of the first day I saw 9 bucks. There was a nice 2x3 I tried to see if dad wanted and he said no. Now he was being picky. We had a...

    I also need to say that our deer unit was on fire. Some guy left a fire smoldering in Colorado and the dry winds pushed the fire into Wyoming. Two thirds of the unit was closed. We decided before we left for Wyoming to deer hunt anyway and to make the best of it. At first light we hop in the...

    2018 Wyoming Epic Combo Hunt Adventure Story (Pics)

    First morning of the hunt we wake up with the plan to cover a lot of ground and try to get my dad on a good buck. We could see a herd with a small buck from camp. We drove on a big loop road that was about 4 miles to start first. We probably 100 plus. There were 5 or 6 decent 70 inch bucks...

    2018 Wyoming Epic Combo Hunt Adventure Story (Pics)

    Five friends and I drew 10 Wyoming hunting tags in 2018. We each had a deer buck tag and a antelope buck tag. I did countless hours of research and called numerous biologist/game wardens. I probably spent 50 plus hours on google earth studying the two areas we would be hunting. So I pretty well...

    Butcher problem

    I dropped off 178 pounds of antelope quarters and back strap. They added 10 pounds of beef fat and I got 61 pounds of summer sausage back. This seems odd to me. I have never taken in antelope before. What is your take on this issue? Thanks
