A WY Pronghorn Tale
Morning of day 2 it took a little longer to get out to the blind than I thought it would. The sun was starting to rise and antelope were already out feeding as I drove to my little water hole. I parked the truck out of sight and took the short walk to the blind. Now to sit and wait. Lots of...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
The rest of the afternoon was pretty slow so I cruised the county roads around the unit and got to know my way around. As soon as I thought about making my way back to town for the day I spot a big buck bedded in the wide open. With some steeper hills behind him I stopped the truck a little fast...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
It's getting hotter out and I am starting to see less activity. I go for a drive and head for my scouted water hole on blm across the unit. I saw lots of does and fawns and a few bucks on my drive but no good stalk opportunities. Plus I needed a little break after the action packed morning. I...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
This was a longer stalk with quite a bit of topography so I dropped out of sight and was able to get to a spot where thought I would be able to send them when I peaked over but where they were last they may still be a little further out. I just wanted to peak over to verify location and plan my...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
A little further down the road there is a nice pull off for the oil equipment out there. I pull in to there and set up my tripod and 18x binos to glass for a bit. As I am glassing one of the oil workers pulls up to check on the equipment and we have a nice chat. He says that this is a great spot...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
Back in the truck and driving down the road..... and there is a buck standing in the road starting at the truck about 200 yards away. He kinda caught me off guard... what do I do? I stop for a minute to get the binos on him and he is huge! Super tall with good prongs. I don't really know what to...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
I didn't really expect the last stalk to work out so I just kind of laughed and moved on happy to just be out chasing critters. On to the next one! I moved on out of the walk in area and down the road to some BLM. After glassing around a bit I turned up a decent buck with 3 does. The last stalk...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
Opening morning I headed out with the plan to spot and stalk in one of the walk in areas first. About 20 min in I spotted my first group. 5 does and one buck. Wow that sure was fast! I spent a little time sizing up the buck and since he was the first I spotted, I tried not to let myself make him...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
With my plan in place, I packed up my truck and headed out on my 17 hr drive the day before opener. I set up "camp" at my hotel. It was about a 40 min drive to the unit from the hotel but it sure was nice to have a shower and a nice comfy bed!- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
I have previously experienced rifle season on public land in Wyoming and felt that I would like to try archery season for the reduced pressure and hopefully less skiddish goats. I made a plan to hunt the archery opener and escouted some spots I could set a blind on water and some spots I could...- CouesKelly

A WY Pronghorn Tale
Here is the story of my Wyoming pronghorn hunt. I regret not taking more photos along the way. I only had 1 point, so I put in for what I thought would be a gamble. I put in for a mid-tier unit that had crept up to a 10pt regular and 6pt special last year. With the price increase this year I...- CouesKelly

Wyoming Cow Elk
I think it really depends on how much public huntable land is in the area. If the outfitter has access to private it could change the experience for you and remove the frustration of crowding on sparse public land. If it were me, I would look at the unit and if I can form a good plan A,B, and C...- CouesKelly
