Default RE: More pics from my Wyoming trip

Blackhawk357 - I'd say you are on target about the antler growth being effected by the drought. I saw lots of bucks in Wyoming that I'm sure would have been carrying much better antlers in a non-drought year. The buck my buddy shot is a good example. He was a big bodied mature buck, but very modest antlers. Judging by his teeth he was 4.5 yrs old, and he measured 23.5" around the neck under the hide when we caped him. In a normal moisture year I'm sure he would have had much better antlers. I checked out your link, and you guys have taken some nice looking animals this fall. That Kevin always seems to find a good one. I liked the looks of the terrain in the background of his pic.
