When we were hunting antelope in Wyoming in 2011 me, my wife and son with Roger and Mark, Rogers friend from TX, he did bring up Ruger the dog, we brought up our 2 Labs, Me my son and Roger had Weatherby Nation members rifles in 257 Wby, perfect rifle for Antelope. one thing with Roger and Mark they liked to drink and I mean they liked to drink whiskey it was before noon each day and it stated from there on and these weren't little drinks about the size of a 16 oz tumbler or larger. I knew he liked whiskey so I brought up a couple of 5 ths which only lasted a few days. We camped where there wasn't even a tree around although we did have antelope pretty much within shooting range near camp every day it seemed. What we did do is EAT he brought up a fish fryer and a bunch of catfish, blues and channel, he cooked up a bunch of fry's and fish and we ate till we were stuffed. my wife is Mexican her family is from Texas you would never know it talking to her on the phone anyway we brought up TX/AZ Mex food, good salsa, home made tortillas , elk meat from home, hatch green chili's , I think we used one 25-06, 257's and my wife shot a 243 and got the nicest antelope buck, darn grouse were running around and I think we could have hunted them we just never thought about it or brought up any shotguns, seen some nice heavy bodied mule deer, some nice elk and several coyotes, it doesn't get any better. Yep he will be missed. I wouldn't mind going up to Wyoming again for antelope that was a great relaxing hunt.
