The last week of sept. my father and I went to Wyoming to hunt antelope. Here are a few pics. Second pic is the 1000 yard range. Third is the Savage 270 (weapon of choice) last pic is day 1, the fawn was shot at 400 yards seated prone and the small buck was shot at 300 with the Harris bipod, prone
The bigger buck was shot at 160 yards, we jumped him. He measured 12 3/4 inches from base to tip, he is a really nice buck. The cabin in the pic was built in the late 1800's for a gun slinger named "Tom Horn". He stayed there while he killed cattle rustlers for the land owners until the land owners framed him for killing a 14 yr old kid. They hung him in Cheyenne. We had 19,000 acres to hunt on and never got to see all of it. White tail deer, mule deer and antelope all over the place. We were 35 miles northeast of Cheyenne. The last pic is my favorite, it was taken in Nebraska just over the Wyoming line.

Great pics! Heard of Tom Horn too. The dude had some great skills but got a little carried away in his job.
93 Fox it's a small world. I think I know one of your hunting partners .I built the same shooting table w/the help of a friend in OKC .Looks like you all had a great time.
Nice pics! Been a few years since I was out there last. Used to hunt antelopes and muleys on a ranch about 20 south of Gillette. What kind of trespass fee did you have to pay? (If I might ask.) Or was this a guided hunt?
nice pics, i am trying to convince my buddies we need to make a trip to a state that has a lot of BLM land and sells Antelope/Mule Deer tags over the counter.
