I've enjoyed hunting Wyoming about every other year for 15 years or more. Just returned from another terrific hunt. Freezer is full, and I think those muley antlers are going on the wall over my desk. 4x5 mule deer at about 140 yards: ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/Yellowstone%202016/IMG_0384_zpshcml2ngr.jpg) "Average" size antelope at about 245 yards: ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/Yellowstone%202016/IMG_0337_zpste39ssl0.jpg) Rifle was a Rem 700 CDL in .30-06 with an old 2-7x Redfield. Zeroed at 200 yards with handloaded 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets. Same load I used on my bear in September. Simple, and it seems to be working just fine. I still have a late-season antlerless elk tag for Washington. Figure on using the same rifle & load. This guy wasn't shy at all! ![[Linked Image]](http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k129/GuyMiner/Yellowstone%202016/P1011534_zps4hwdxfrv.jpg) Regards, Guy

Good going, Guy!
We've found mature mule deer bucks taken this time of year to be very good eating, almost as good as antelope....

Outstanding Guy. Congrats, and thanks for posting pics.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Thanks all! I don't normally hunt with a bipod, but noticed at the range lately I was having trouble being steady and consistent, so I added the tall bipod to my rifle and got rid of that problem.
Very pleased. Was kind of hoping for a larger-horned antelope, but the shot presented was just too good to pass.
