My Wyoming Hunt
I went to Wyoming last week and got a nice 10 pont buck. I shot him at 366 yards with a 300 Weatherby mag 180 grain nosler ballistic tip. He came out of some heavy cover at 300 yards and walked directly away from me until he turned broadside and gave me the shot. The nosler ballistic tip went all the way through and came out only the size of a quarter. He dropped where he stood. I shot him on the first day of a 5 day hunt, i couldn' t pass him up. I wish we had more deer like this in good old Jersey.

Joe--
Awesome deer and what a shot! What did you do for the other 4 days? Hunterdon County has some monsters but they are probably bedded in someone' s backyard!
Good luck in NJ.

RE: My Wyoming Hunt
Real nice buck Joe! congrats,! sounds like a nice hunting trip too( to bad ya didnt have more tags for the other 4 days)or a fishing pole? ( yall dosnt need a licences do you for cyotes, etc Here?)
Where did you hunt him at? Most of the mulies seem to have good racks, found a nice head& rack on my propety once, been there awhile. glad the cyotes etc didnt eat it lol.
Lower elevation deer tend to be smaller bodyed, then some of those big ins from the mtns, but i think there are a seprate, sub- spieces of big mulies in some mtns areas anyways ... but some places here 1 mile /5,000+ ft of elevation is the lowlands
But there is also a seprate sub -spieces of elk in the red desert area i think too- o.. or it could all be a dream?

I went out with another guy who hadn' t tagged out yet and then I spent one day in town just goofing off and took a flight home 2 days early. I saved two vacation days. I' m going to Texas during Thanksgiving where I' m allowed one buck two does two hogs and they have a lot of coyotees to shoot. That' s why it wasn' t to bad getting this one on the first day because I knew my season wasn' t over yet.

The outfitter doesn' t really want you to go out for just coyotes on his whitetail lease property. I quess he doesn' t want to much spooking of the deer for other/future hunters.I was hunting just outside of Sundance,Wy. Sundance is in the Northeast part of the state.
