Well, our anual Wyoming antelope hunt got started with a 9 hour drive that should have been a 6 hour drive. We had 3 blowouts, 2 on the trailer and 1 on the truck. We were beginning to think we should turn around and go home. We finally got there and set up camp really quick so we could get a couple of hours hunting in that night. Meagan (12) had drawn her first antelope tag and Kacie (16), her older sister, was after her second antelope in 2 years. Meagan was up first and we found a goat that caught her eye right off the bat. We snuck in as close as we could get (260 yards) and as we rounded the last willow on the hedge row he started to run right at us. The problem was he didn't stop. Once he figured out we weren't what he was after her veered to our right and ran through the hedge row trying to get behind us. We hurried and busted to the other side of the hedge row and he finally stopped on a little hillside 193 yard away. Meagan shot and just missed over his back. That ended our first night of hunting. The next day we had antelope everywhere and the rut was apparently just getting started. There was a lot of chasing going on with about 4-6 bucks around every herd of does. The girls had several opportunities but apparently buck fever was going around that day and they missed shots that they usually hit. We were beginning to think that this wasn't our year for goats until Meagan finally connected on her antelope buck right before dark last night. We snuck to within 80 yards and she dumped him. We were all extremely excited to say the least and glad that something finally went right on this trip. Enjoy the photos. It was a family affair as usual. Even mom got in on the kill this year.
