RuRu12,

Sounds like a great adventure. Too bad about the unfortunate whitetail harvest,I'm suprised you got your truck home! Congrats on the antelope and your friends deer. The 3x situation is frustrating I'm sure, but if it's the law so be it. I don't blame you for passing on the young ones, when I travel that far it's a mature buck or nothing for me also.

I just returned from an Idaho hunt. My wife and I drove out from PA with a slide on camper and parked along a road in the Bitterroot National Forest. I had a deer and an elk tag. I only got a good look at one animal the whole time. It was a LARGE mulie buck. I missed him clean with an off handed fifty yard shot.(should have been easy but I screwed up) I was bummed. I'm looking at eastern Wyoming or Montana next year for deer only. (mabie an antelope also). If you dont mind, any advise would be appreciated. It obvious that you knowledge about western deer hunting far exceeds mine.
