WY/MT season #14336594 12/04/19

Started in late summer/early fall with a WY cow elk hunt for my nephew and I. My nephews second elk: Next afternoon I shot one: Spent just about all my available time after that hunting sheep in NW Wyoming...26 days in all over 4 trips. Had some help on 3 of those trips from 2 good friends, and did one solo hunt as well. Snuck out between the first and second sheep hunts to help a friend from Wyoming with his first pronghorn and met up with a couple friends from Montana for a couple days. They all did pretty well: Got weathered out on that sheep hunt, low ceilings and no ability to glass. So, cut out early and on the way home found a decent pronghorn: After looking him over closely and taking some photos and with the sheep tag not filled...decided to take the opportunity.

After my AZ friends went home it was back to sheep hunting for the last 21 days of the season. Ended up seeing 62 rams in total, passed many sheep and had a great time. Was fortunate to have the help of a friend from Cody that has some top notch horses and a mule on 3 of the 4 hunts. Last edited by BuzzH; 12/04/19.

Had them over a barrel at 175 yards and decided rather than throw another set of raghorn antlers in the rafters, may as well take a cow: Went up to Montana to hunt with my Nephews, Dad, and Brother in mid November at our family deer camp. Did pretty well and was happy to help both nephews take their first whitetail bucks. Last edited by BuzzH; 12/04/19.
