Awesome job!

As an aside, you don't need to give up good beer for antelope hunts!

Very cool seeing someone do this and having so much fun and having such an impact on them.

PS-Spread the word to other "Eastern Tenderfoots" how awesome and important public lands in the west are

What a cool story. I really appreciated the enthusiasm and emotions that you captured. It's easy to forget the excitement of one's first Western hunt, but reading your story made me think back to my first deer hunt in Wyoming in 1994.

Great pictures, and congratulations on a true adventure.

Buy some good boots, and think about joining BHA

I actually started donating to BHA, RMEF, and NWTF a few years back ... I'm all about the public lands, even though I have only ever used them this once, and I have never chased elk.
*on a side note, the RMEF sent me some knives and they really saved my @$$ on this trip!!!!

Awesome! That's a neat part of Wyoming where you were at. As you said, it's very deceiving in the vertical change.

That area looks really familiar. There were definitely a lot of hunters around that area. Congrats.
