No bucks, just doe tags. This was Ike's first trip out of state, at 12 years old it was the first year he was eligible for a tag. Ended up going late so the Grandson and Granddaughter could finish their sports seasons, and then the Granddaughter had other commitments including her volleyball team going to state so she stayed home. We couldn't get to the area we wanted to hunt for the snow drifts so hunted lower in the valley. We split up with my Son in Law taking Ike one way, cheesy and I another. Turned out that they both got their first doe a few minutes and a couple miles apart. That boy was a grinnin! Kimber Montana, 308, 120 Accubond loaded down to 2400-2500 fps. Punched both shoulders from 125 yards and kept on going. Cheesy filled his second tag middle of the afternoon, but Ike decided to wait till the next day to spread the fun out some. The wind came up and made things difficult, but he tagged out middle of the afternoon. We pulled camp and hightailed it the next morning after hearing weather forecasts of 6-12" of snow and cold weather.

Ike and his dad strategizing on an unsuccessful stalk- Post success sandwiches. My Kimber .30-06 got it done, in spite of my poor shooting. Pack loaded with a half a goat for short walk back to truck. Used the old JC Higgins 50/51 for my other doe. No real glory pics of it though. Ole_270 loaded up with the other half a goat And my favorite picture as we were leaving yesterday. Wishing I’d had my good camera and lens. Couldn’t get phone out in time to get them when they were all skylined.

Congrats; Wyoming pronghorn is the BEST IMO... Trying to remember, I think this was number 4 since 2007. The consistency part might be because we're not all that picky when we are able to draw buck tags. Two years ago when we took my Granddaughter on her first antelope hunt we went late season then too. Never saw a big buck and all took average sized bucks. Antelope is my favorite by far.
