Wyoming Success

[schlaggerman]

Just returned from the Bighorns and a successful mule deer hunt, not however without a lot of hard work. Due to very warm days and crystal clear full moon nights the deer weren't moving much during the daylight hours. Put on lots of miles searching, scouting, hunting different spots. Finally late in the week relief in the form of a couple of weather systems moving through which seemed to cause a slight uptick in deer movement. I managed to get in front of a feeding fork horn and 3x3. I got an arrow into the 3x3 and I'll be bring home venison.

I guess the hunts you remember the most are the ones you have to work the hardest at to be successful.

Congrats on a successful hunt. What part of the Big Horns were you in?

I've hunted on the eastern side between Story and Ranchester.

I also hunt mostly the eastern slopes of the Bighorns as well. I have hunted above Buffalo and above Sheridan.
Like many traditionalist bowhunters I started out on recurve bows and then tried compounds for a few years. A friend and I went back to traditional bows in 1983 and have never looked back. Have savored every success and failure along the way.

Not the biggest buck.....but it was a spot and stalk that went perfectly and I couldn't pass. Plus we were struggling finding shooters on public land, and this was the biggest we got. Did see 2 really nice bucks that gave us the slip on the stalk. So our group went 3/4 with bucks. Fun time had as always in Wyoming. Beautiful scenery. Saw some cool stuff. Can't wait till next year!
