Planning Your First Western Hunt
The rangefinder read 202 yards. That was far longer than any shot this Kentucky boy had ever taken at an animal, but it was a shot that I had practiced routinely in the weeks leading up to this hunt. I slowly slipped into a sitting position and rested my Sako .308 across the shooting sticks. As I steadied the crosshairs of the Simmons scope just behind the front shoulder, I took a deep breath to settle my nerves. With the bark of the Sako, I watched as my first Wyoming antelope fell in his tracks.

11 Point Massachusetts Buck
This is my first buck ever. I got into the sport of deer hunting last year at the age of 37. I have had some opportunities over the season, but inexperience cost me. Finally on December 26, 2007, this 11 point buck gave me the thrill of a lifetime. I hit him around 40 yards with a .50 cal. muzzleloader. He dressed out at 150 lbs.
