This year I knew my hunting was going to be dialed back a little as my oldest boy could finally hunt WY and my middle kid could hunt ID. I've still had a decent season (buck, bull, and antelope) but the best highlights have been the kids hunts.
We started off on 3rd choice antelope tags in Wyoming. Tons of people, not much public land, and not many goats but we snuck into around 95 yards and my oldest smoked him.
Then off to Idaho for my middle kids deer tag. It was hot and dry. We got close on a couple but it ended up being more of a touring of eastern Idaho and Yellowstone. Good times.
Back to WY for my oldest kids deer tag. We went this last week knowing the snow was coming. Due to the gun my oldest wanted to shoot, we needed to be inside of 150 yards/max 200. We had some really nice bucks around but due to the range limits and their snow bibs
we were struggling getting close. We finally found two nice bucks bedded and this guy pops up at 50 yards while stalking in. He was tickled with him and that's all I could ask for.
Definitely my favorite year out West so far.
