Drove to Wyoming for a Pronghorn hunt with my youngest.

Blue skies when we arrived but knew there was going to be weather coming in. Snowed that night. Got to the unit at daybreak following snow plows all the way. Probably not the brightest thing to go hunting in those conditions but not going to sit in the Motel after that long drive.

Spotted some pronghorns right away but weather took a brutal turn for the worst. Couldn’t see much past 20 yards and barely made it back to motel.

Next morning roads were closed but opened by noon. We went back out for a quick hunt knowing we had to leave next morning because more bad weather was on the way.

Spotted some bands of Pronghorns and managed to put on a few stalks and take two of them and get out before we froze to death. My fingers are still a little numb as I type this but an awesome hunt with my youngest. My son didn’t see a buck big enough so he decided to take a doe. In hindsight I probably should have done the same.


Herd Burger!

Welcome to Wyoming

Wind is blowing! But blue Skies.

First day in the snow

Scary drive to Motel

Awfully cold for some Texas boys.

My son was able to take this doe and I managed a smallish buck.



Herd's was closed!

Congrats my favorite dead animal is Pronghorn

Congratulations too both of you. Forrest

😊

Awesome. I just started building points last year for Wyoming. I can’t wait to make this trip

That sure looks cold !

Congrats to you both Why did y'all choose Wyoming for a Pronghorn hunt?

Way to go. Great hunt and I'm sure even greater memories were made on this trip with your son.

Probably because we have more pronghorn than people and plenty of public areas to hunt them.

You missed the big part of the storm, it's really cold this morning -6. We also got about 10 inches of snow here in Laramie.
Roads opened back up yesterday.

Build those PP until you get about 3-4 for a better area.

Congrats on your take, I know how it feels to hunt in that kind of cold, guts feel great on your hands !

Congrats. I like the later season for pronghorn. It's not as hot and there's nobody else out there, mostly. Next year I can either draw on my own with 13 points or go with my son for an average of 7.5. I don't think he's playing football next year so that frees him up. I expect we will draw next year, but then, I expected we would draw this year.

Thanks!

Wytex is right (of course). We definitely didn't see any other hunters and lots of Pronghorns!

Yes, happiness is a warm gut pile on days like that. We are definitely going back next year.

That storm chased us all the way through Colorado.

Congrats!

COLD!

Love me a Herd's hamburger in Jacksboro! Also congrats on the pronghorns!

Great pics. Gonna hit Herds on the way to my lease Friday. Can't wait!!

The weather in Wyoming is changeable to say the least.

Looks like a tough hunt. Congrats on the pronghorn.
