My First hunt ever!!
Let me just start off with saying if it weren’t for my amazing husband I would have never even thought
about hunting. So thank you hunny! One night my husband says “Hey lets put in for the Wyoming mule deer
draw” so we did along with a few other of his hunting buddies. Well low and behold I am the only one drawn,
the only one in the bunch that has never been hunting, and the only girl So off we go a few months later on
my first ever hunt.
After a long flight in a small plane and a few hour drive we finally reach the ranch. It was beautiful
scenery and quaint log cabins. Antelope were everywhere around the cabins. (they must have known their
season was over) . We got everything ready for the next day and settled in for the night.
Day 1: 5AM alarm clock? This is the one thing I really don’t like about hunting. I am not a jump up out of bed
get dressed and walk out the door kind of gal,.but, I do it. We were in land we were unfamiliar with and no
guide (well I had my husband as my guide) so we go out on a long walk up the mountain. Again, antelope
everywhere! Lot’s of sign I’m so excited! We see a few does way up on the mountain but nothing attainable.
Lunch time we walk back to the cabin eat, talk about a plan and head back out for the evening hunt. Nothing!
I’m a little disappointed but tomorrow is a new day!
