My wife and I had a great hunt the last few days in Wyoming, one I'll never forget. It was a lot of work for the two of us, but well worth it in every way. A great DIY hunt that was the product of many, many hours spent learning the area, scouting, etc. In one day and 2 hours of hunting we saw 58 bulls, most all of them 6x6's. Shot mine with a 7mm RM and 160 accubonds 204 yards, died in his bed. About half the other 15 bulls never even got out of their beds after I shot. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/buzzandpat/elkhunting/websize/IMG_0850.JPG) The next morning we decided to look in another area and we quickly found a herd of 6 six points. My wife took the best in the bunch with a nice shot at 192 yards with her 7-08 and 140 grain accubonds. Shot the bull behind the shoulder and he slowly turned and stumbled down hill 5 yards and was down. Found the bullet in the opposite shoulder perfectly expanded. It was a great experience in particular since it was my wifes first elk ever. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/buzzandpat/elkhunting/websize/IMG_0878.JPG) Even though she's really happy with the bull, she is even more proud of her antelope she shot this year in Wyoming. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/buzzandpat/antelope/websize/IMG_0705.JPG)

Two awesome bulls and one stud of an antelope! The taxidermy bill is welcomed I'm sure. Im guessing that was a LE unit, not a general unit for the elk hunt?

Great job there.
I had a 320 class bull at 30 yards north of Kemmerer...silly me was too cheap to buy a non-resident general tag, so I bought a reduced price cow tag instead. Live and learn.
That antelope is awesome!

That antelope is REALLY nice but that elk will EAT a lot better. Conglads, Bob I'm the opposite, I prefer well-cared-for antelope over elk.
