I got this buck in one of the Wyoming Public Walk-In Areas (WIA) just before 8AM on 11-16-10. The WIA are private land that the State of WY pays the owners to open to public hunting but, no vehicles allowed. I was 2 – 3 miles from the truck. He was coming from a creek bottom walking up a steep draw as I was walking down. I shot him in the chest as he faced me at about 100 yards with my 300 WSM and a 150-gr TSX. I drug him down to the creek and walked out of the bottom (a 3 -4 mile hike). Then I contacted the land owner and he helped me get it out. It was an awesome trip. We also saw a lot of good whitetails, huge mule deer, and thousands of antelope.
His antlers are 18.5″ wide, 14″ tall, 10″ G2′s, with 24″ main beams. He is at the taxidermist in Lusk, WY. I don’t know what he weighed, but I estimated 220 lb. based on the amount of meat we got off of him.
Thank you for a great product,

After 11 years of applying for a branched antler bull tag in my home state of Washington I was finally drawn for a late season muzzleloader any bull hunt this year. I was able to connect with a great 6×10 bull on the 2nd morning of my hunt at 90 yards with my Knight Bighorn shooting a 250-gr Barnes TMZ. As expected the TMZ performed perfectly. He was quartering away just a bit and the bullet entered just behind the last rib on his right and was found with all pedals intact just behind his left shoulder taking out both lungs on the way through. The bullet still weighs 248grs!
A very unofficial rough green score shows him at just over 370″ gross non typical. He is 50-1/4″ outside spread and the left main beam is 56-1/2″
He was an old bull with just one ivory that was worn down to the gum line. An interesting side note is that when we skinned him out we found an old all lead muzzy slug all healed over in the hide near his spine toward the back of the ribcage.
