I shot three antelope with a 270 and one with a 338 this year. Originally Posted by Steelhead Damn Lefty, need scenery pics. The bear in the top photo looks a little rubbed..........grin but look how symmetrical it is! (grin) I got the pics, it'll take a bit to get them processed. I've been out of doors about 4 days out of 7 the last month and have a little bit yet to go.

I'm almost through my ineligible period in WY but am just starting it in UT. Even without drawing, landowner (CWMU) tags can be bought for fairly reasonable rates.

Hope to meet a moose in Wyo in a year or two; don't think I can duplicate the Heym armament but am considering a FA 454 Casull, a Marlin GG with handloads, or my Fedora recurve. We'll see.
