Hey Guys,
Just wanted to give a brief intro about myself, and looking forward to getting to know some of you guys.....i didnt even know this forum existed until i started looking into a DIY wyoming antelope hunt. I would google something, and more often than not one of the first things to pop up would be a thread from here, so i had a look at some of the threads and sure seems like a ton of knowledge on here! This year i was finally able to draw my antelope tag at home (its about a 15 year wait), and I had a blast and took a respectable buck by our standards, but sure done want to wait another 15 years to do it again, hence my interest in a DIY hunt in wyoming.
Anyway, Im from Alberta, Canada and love hunting about anything I can..... As far as hunting in the states, I have hunted antelope in Wyoming once before (guided), hunted hogs in California at Tejon ranch with someone I met on a grizzly hunt in BC from California who is now a good friend, and have a free range Auodad hunt booked for Feb 2018 in texas. I love hunting new places, and am hoping to get a few more hunts in in the US over the next few years. As far as at home, i hunt about everything I can, but my favorite place to be is in the mountains chasing sheep, goats and elk. Besides hunting, I also actively trap on my line each winter, and whether hunting, fishing or trapping, always bring my 7 year old son along whenever possible.
Generally speaking, all the hunting I do is self guided, unless Im required to use a guide (the exception being my first wy speed goat trip a few years ago). Besides the goat hunt in wy, the only other guided trip I have done is an unsuccessful grizzly hunt in BC. We dont have a grizzly hunt in AB anymore, so have to hunt them elsewhere and had to use a guide. Saw lots of bears on the trip, but nothing that I would deem a shooter, so ate my tag on that hunt.
Anyway, nice to meet you guys, and just thought Id start out by sharing some pics from some recent hunts done here at home.....our season is just getting really up and running where I live, so all but the antelope pics are from last year, the loper i just shot a week ago.
Starting with my antelope from this year. This guy was taken about 2 miles north of the Montana border.
Here is a goat from last year....
Last years velvet archery muley....
Last years moose....I had been watching this bull for 2 years on some land we own, and finally caught up with him less than 500yds from a cabin i have on 80 acres of the family land.
Con't on next page......
