Just got back from my first hunt camp out in WY. I’m from New York and have only hunted out west once (sept ‘19 Black Bear). My first hunt camp was a dual hunt - Mule Deer and Antelope. The trip was with my uncle, who introduced me to hunting. We have been planning to do a hunt like this together for years. Given the state of the world at the moment, it was an incredibly special trip that we will both never forget. Wanted to share some of the photos and thoughts with the rokslide community for my first ever post.
We went for a 4 day hunt, and were very fortunate to have seen a lot of really nice animals and successfully filled all of our tags. We met some great people, drank lots of good whiskey, explored beautiful land and each took a muley and an antelope. We were lucky enough to eat a lot of delicious meals, including the tenderloins from our antelopes, which were marinated for 12 hours in milk and butter, lightly salted and then seared 1 minute a side on the grill. They turned out perfect.
I'm officially a hunting addict now, and have spent all of my spare time reading, researching and listening to podcasts. I'm already working on 2021 and 2022 adventures.
Any comments/suggestions for my next hunt adventure would be greatly appreciated.
I recounted all four days of hunting with more photos and lots of detail in the comments section below. Keep reading if you want the full hunt write-up!

Riley and I down the hill where my buck fell. ~500 from Larry's Draw where Larry got his Muley on day 1.
