Jim Stover from Cheyenne wrote: Here is a whitetail I shot last September with my bow.  I was actually putting a stalk on an antelope when coming around a cow trail on a creek I saw this bucks antlers laying in the grass.  Bye, bye, antelope; deer hunting time.  He was actually asleep.  If it wasn't such a windy day he would have probably spotted me but do to the willows blowing back and forth he noticed nothing.  Make a long story shorter, after 2 hours of waiting and sneaking forward to 42 yards, my shot was true.  He will score around 150" net pope and young unofficially and to my knowledge will be in the top 5 for archery typical whitetails in the state of Wyoming.  He is a perfectly symmetrical 5X5.  He was taken in the Cheyenne area.

I harvested the bear with my bow on the last day of the season near Cokeville. I am very proud as it took a ton of energy to pack the bait in as the river became impassable during the spring run-off and what was one mile when we set it up, quickly became 2.5 from the other direction.

Sean Dougherty of Laramie writes:
Three years ago my grandfather Sam Marlow from Laramie had to have heart surgery, to have a pace maker put in at 75. Now, being an avid outdoorsman he want it put on his left side so that he could continue to hunt. Unfortunately this was not possible. So after 70+ years of shooting right handed he had to switch. Now he shoots his pre 64 Model 70 Winchester, right handed bolt, 30-06, left handed. Well after three years of practice and struggle. We have taken one decent deer. It is extremely hard on him and due to the change and his age it slows him down when taking a shot. This year we were very fortunate. In area 46 for antelope, at 78 years of age, shooting left handed and at 300 yards. He took this impressive 16.5 inch antelope with 6.25 inch bases. Now I am sure that there were a lot bigger bucks taken this year and I congratulate all the hunters who took them. After three years of relearning how to shoot, and the frustration that comes with hunting, I can say that this is the biggest antelope we have ever taken in our group and I couldn't be more proud of him. These will be some of the fondest memories I have of him and that was all made possible by hunting. Thank you for your time and I love the web site.

 Here is a coyote Karl Braunies of Lander ambushed and shot on January 23rd west of Lander. He had watched a pack of four coyotes a couple weeks earlier and figured the best ambush spot with down slope, down canyon winds and cover. The rifle is now 101 years old,  Winchester Model 94-30 WCF. He took the shot at 60 yards as 9 mule deer browsed close to him. The coyotes were moving in toward the deer.
