Antelope Hunt

Chad, Dad, and friend John headed to Wyoming the first of October to meet up with Bryce and a few friends to do some antelope hunting. Everyone filled their tags, each getting a buck and a doe.

The whole crew


Bryce spent a lot of time scouting for the crew to come hunt and found a great campsite located in the only stand of trees around. It was an old town site as well with some of the foundations still visible.

The camp wasn't too bad, complete with a cook tent and propane heaters!



The heaters came in handy. The temperature was generally between 20 and 35 degrees with a solid 20 mph wind. They got snowed on a few times, the largest coming the night before they left. The conditions for breaking camp was 3 degrees and a foot of fresh snow!

Chad said it's beautiful country.....to visit!
Bryce put a lot of work into the hunt and making sure every one filled thier tags. His outstanding guide job got rewarded with this beautiful buck.

A great documentation of the hunt with wonderful pictures...I agree with Chad on Wyoming as a place for a quick visit or just a flyover and visit at the airport!!
