We just returned from Wyoming early this week. My wife killed her first ever bull elk and did it in archery season (crossbow). We called in six bulls in an hour that morning. It was the perfect morning of elk hunting. She was absolutely ecstatic and is now hooked on rut elk hunting.
After a couple days off, we went out for an antelope for me. We stalked this one behind a cow decoy for over a mile. Once the antelope accepted that we were just a "cow" we could do just about anything. We made a 90° circle around them in plain view, under 200 yards in order to get a shot other than the skyline shot I originally had at the buck. The cow decoy will now always be a part of our "tool kit" for antelope.
