Wyoming Antelope

LIK2HNT · Aug 12, 2012

Anyone else getting ready for the opener of archery? We are alomost packed and will leave after work tomarrow. Hopefully get there to set up a few blinds and be ready for Wednesday morning. My 12 year old son is excited to go on his first big game hunt. And, I am looking forward to watching him let the air out of a few antelope.

wish everyone luck.

Bill-good luck on your hunt, and your son should have a blast.

Hopefully he will be "letting the air out" of one antelope, or does he have a buck and a doe tag?

Brian,
Had a great short trip. We arrowed a couple doe antelope in unit 61 the first day. Then went up to 63-2 where we had buck tags and Ben got a small buck not much to choice from. This was his first out of state and big game hunt. He had a great time and did well. Dad's proud. Friend had a unit 61 buck tag also, and we found only 1 large buck after he arrowed an average buck. Need to make different plans for next year. We never saw another bow hunter, but every waterhole had atleast one blind on it. I think next year I will put up my blind in the morning on the waterholes I want to hunt if nobody is there.

Congrats.You and your son did well. Great memories.

If you set a blind up in the morning, the goats are going to be spooky and may not come in. You'd be better off pitching yer blind next to one of those empty ones you reference as the goats will probably be used to it if its been there for any period of time.
