Kevin Wells from Cheyenne writes: Here's a photo of a buck my brother Mark took on the opening weekend of archery in an area close to Kaycee.  This buck wandered too close to the decoy and with a 38 yard shot from a ground blind sent this buck to the land of ever feasting.

Garth Simkins from Cheyenne arrowed this antelope last weekend north of Casper!  He said It was pretty exciting since it was his first one with a bow!  It was all spot and stalk and he shot him at 41 yards.

2008 Spring Turkey Hunt in the Medicine Bow National Forest.  Brian Anderson, Dave Geer, and Sean Geer had a successful opening day by bagging three mature Toms from the same flock! Looks more like elk hunting weather but it turned out to be a great April 12 Turkey Hunt!

when they called it in to 22 yds.

Garth and Erin Simkins from Cheyenne decided to break the dog days of winter in Wyoming and go to Oklahoma on a hog and exotic hunt.  They had a blast and saw lots of game. Garth took two really nice boars. The black one weighed 220 lbs and the brown one weighed 200 lbs. He also took a magnificent, but crazy looking Jacob’s Four Horn Sheep.
