Steve O's goat in TBM

[Mike Yancey]

Way to go Steve, great buck and I know what you mean about the does. I have tried every way in the world to make them look good in a photo but they still look like you drug em behind a truck for a mile. I didn't even take a picture of the doe I took this year.
Good job on the pic's
Mike

[Steve O]

Thanks all.  

Here is the rest of the crew:

Cliff missed a BIG buck and took this youngster on the last day:

 


This is Sam.  His buck was 73 4/8 net:

 


And this is Mike; he is the guy that set the whole thing up.  His buck fittingly was the largest of the trip at 73 5/8:

Steve O you told what he scored to see how close you guessed, what did you guess him at?

[Steve O]

I guess when I am  reading ...

When I am hunting, there is a go/no-go switch in my head...when I saw him 500 yards away it said  GO! .  I think looking at photos and guessing when you have the information available in a relaxed setting reinforces and simplifies field judging, which for me is a very stressful and intense situation.

You know, there is a lot of broadhead talk going on right now.  Here is an interesting photo to show the penetration of a 3 Blade:

 

This arrow penetrated not only my buck, but this very heavy plastic water tank.  It was at leat 1/2" thick and you can see water trickling down.  Don't let anybody tell you a traditional bow does not have enough power!

I pulled this arrow and we patched the tank.  I then gave the head a few hits on my steel and killed the doe antelope above the next day with the same head and shaft.

55# bow, full lenght Easton 340 Full Metal Jacket Shafts, and Snuffer SS broadheads.

Great goats,great story,great penetration!

 Look at the angle the arrow went in the tank,that says somethin about a sharp head too!

Excellent job Steve!

So, you fly into Casper, hunt in Glenrock, and don't even let me buy you a cup of coffee....
don't let it happen again.

Nice Steve O!  I've also been wondering how that trip went for ya.  Been to that area twice now and definitely plan on getting back some day.

[Steve O]

J.W.--I won't let it happen again!  I am going to PM you...I'd like to find some ranches or public land out there to DIY those antelope; maybe stalk 'em.
