I've actually had it back for awhile, just never got around to posting it. Unit 73 Wyoming, 78" and change. I was really happy to harvest this lope on my first ever western hunt, and I think my taxidermist did an excellent job with the habitat. His family lives in WY so he knew where we were hunting and what to make it look like. Thanks for all of the help I received on here to make this hunt happen. Looks like I will be out there chasing cow elk next year with any luck. Still banking points for Elk and Mule Deer, and started over again with antelope points last year.

EDIT: Sorry for the mediocre pics. Cell phone and lighting in the room wasn't jiving

Thanks guys. I have a finished basement where I usually keep my "trophies". I brought this home and set it up in the living room to see what it looked like and my wife demanded it stay put. She loves it, so all is good in the world haha!

Awesome man, good luck. The largest PH we seen was in unit 75. We were driving around after our hunt. He was a stud. They were every where too, you should have plenty of them to look at!!

Glad to see I'm not the only Kentuckian hunting antelope out west. I took my antelope in area 21 last year. Definitely not as nice as yours but definitely going on the wall. I still haven't gotten it back from the taxidermist yet. I'll be hunting antelope again in 21 and muleys in region Y this october.

Good luck this year!!!

Thanks man. What area/city in KY are you located? I won't make it out this year, but probably next year for sure.

Daviess County.... And hopefully me and my brother will try our hand at elk hunting in Colorado in 2017. This year's mule deer hunt will be our trial run at backpack hunting. This year we'll have our camper to fall back on. On next year's elk hunt, there won't be a backup, so we better work out the kinks this year.

Oh cool. I deer hunt some fairly close to you in Breckinridge/Grayson county. I live in Richmond though. Good luck this fall!!
