Just to ride Kurt's coattails, I was also in WY recently and we had good luck with a couple critters as well. grin

Found this guys early in the week, but couldn't get an arrow through him.

mtmiller:

Looks like you had a great time. Congratulations.

I'll be up there in a week and half. The unit where I'm hunting doesn't open until 10-1.

Those are GREAT goats! Congrats!
Very nice! Way to go.

I'm leaving for WY tomorrow.

Wow those are some really nice goats! Do you know what they will score?
Posted By: BrentD Re: Another WY pronghorn thread - 09/22/10
Nice. Any lengths on those horns, just for reference? I'm guessing 16" but I guess poorly so I'd be interested to hear the real numbers.
Both were 16" on the long and just under on the short. Both scored 81"+
Those are both awesome bucks and it sounds like it was a great time!

What unit?
Really nice bucks - congrats to the both of you. Like many, I'm also counting the days until I'm back in Wyoming chasing antelope. Should be there on the 2nd of October for 5 days of hunting heaven:)

MtMiller, aren't you the guy with the dog who always hunts with you...Axle or something?

And nice goats.

Very nice, Miller! I'll be heading out with the kids on Saturday. Opened up the 15th, so we'll see whats left.

Yep, Axl was the greatest hunting partner and we had some amazing hunts in our 10 years together. Hundreds of birds, dozens of deer, many pronghorn, couple elk and a Wilderness Area mountain goat. It was a sad Friday the 13th of last month when I had to put my buddy down.

This was his last lope hunt from last season.

Good answer! grin

I am normally more vague than that
I was going to go with North Dakota, but since they don't have a season this year and I did mess up on the title of the thread I had to let it out. crazy
Nice! My hunt starts Oct 2nd and I can't stand this waiting!
Miller, nice!

Great pics and bucks!
Nice goat Miller.

Hate to hear that about Axel.
Sorry to hear that MtMiller. Sounds like you were both very lucky.
Awesome GOATS!

I think you need a tribute to Axl post with pics..

I know I always loved to see the pics with him and every kind of critter you could kill!

Very nice! Not very often partner's kill equally impressive trophies on the same hunt like that.

Great speedgoats man! This is killing me, as I'll be in Mitchell one week from last night and completing the trip to Newcastle one week from today!

My 8 yo & I are in for the time of our lives!

Great job, Craig and Pat. Congrats. Hope there are a few bucks left in WY by the time I get there on the 5th.
NICE!!! Congrats on some great looking bucks. You putting that one on the wall?

Who's considered the old man in that camp?? wink

Sorry to read about Axl. Those are tough things to deal with.
Nice goats.
