Wyoming whitetail
The season is finally winding down for us. We both have Type 3 , additional any whitetail tags for some private land we can hunt and the NF here right above town. Spouse went up on the NF this morning and rattled up this nice 3 1/2 yr old 8 pt from his bed. We are looking for meat for the freezer at this point so he was perfect.
Going back up in the morning for my hunt.
It takes about 15 minutes from the house to get to this area when the roads are good, a popular recreation area on the National Forest.
He had about a 300 yard drag to the road, but it was through the timber and down a ridge you see in the background.
The deer are pretty "fluffy" up here already, he had a beautiful cape and good body fat.

A sad update on the ram I photoed Thanksgiving week.
We were up to take care of some horses and saw magpies fly up from the state section along the highway while looking for the band of sheep.
Looks like the ram was hit by a vehicle about a week after my pics.
We reported the dead ram to G&F , they have a facility right down the road, and a guy we know picked it up. We called the GW and on the way home were able to pick up the head so we can get it plugged to keep it.
He was a nice 9 yr old with a tight curl but a nice flare out.
He'll get euroed by the spouse after our taxidermist pulls the horns, then they get reattached by the taxi.
