This will be my Wyoming hunting, scouting, and guiding thread. I left on Monday to drop my bear hide off in Minnesota at the taxi. Once I left Minnesota I headed west toward South Dakota to visit a friend and see Rushmore and Crazy horse quick before scouting my elk and antelope areas here in Wyoming. 
I was able to see a couple Mountain Goats in the Black Hills! There were signs for bighorn, but I never saw any! 
Found some turkey on the Wyoming side too 
I arrived Tuesday in my Antelope unit and was surprised by how many there were! 
Seemed like everything out there was looking for a place to die! 
More antelope pictures... Same antelope from two hours earlier in the day, love the wide look! 
This one was about 200 yards from where I was camped and stuck around a while! 
This is my favorite photo so far! 
A couple pictures of the local wildlife. 
Whitetail Prairie Dog 
I went to my elk unit this morning and saw a group of over 300 elk! My camera battery died after I spotted a few cow elk and I only had my iPhone. But here's some of the cow elk I saw this morning. 
I woke up to bulls bugling, that was the coolest thing I've ever heard! I had never heard a bull bugled in the mountains like that. I tried to spot them out but never found them. I happened to shoot a fox before I left my antelope area too! He was chasing a mule deer fawn around and I plinked him at 75 yards with the .22. It was a perfect shot, dropped him in his tracks. I never knew fox would go after mule deer fawn. 
Rabbit trails were insane! I've never seen so many cottontails in my life! 
Big velvet mule deer in my elk area!
