Very nice animals, congrats to you! I've tried to get my wife involved w/ hunting and she's just not that interested (despite being a very good rifle shot). You're a lucky man!

Her buck was taken on morning 1, after an unsuccessful stalk (damn does!), we glassed this one at 300 yards, made a plan, looped around a hill, and got within range, it was fun to be a part of for her!

176 yards: Mulie Buck (he's going on the wall and we never measured him, any guesses?):

121 yards 14 inch pronghorn

I also got a 4x4, though a bit smaller than hers, but my 15 inch pronghorn was bigger!

South Fork Outfitters was GREAT. 11 hunters in camp, 3 with deer tags, 2 with antelope, rest with both. All tagged out!

Thanks for all the help over the last several months. Man what a FUN hunting trips, and man can those pronghorn cover some ground!




Congratulations on having a wife that will hunt with you and congratulations on a GREAT hunt for the both of you.
