Dick Cheney to compete in 1 Shot Antelope Hunt

LANDER, Wyo.—Dick Cheney will be shooting for Wyoming in this year’s One Shot Antelope Hunt.

Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead told KOVE-AM ( http://bit.ly/ZWmcOH) Friday that the former vice president will join him in the Sept. 21 hunt in Lander. It will be the first time Cheney has participated in the event, co-hosted by Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper.

The event started in 1940 as a duel between Wyoming and Colorado and governors traditionally lead their state teams. It’s since grown into a premier event that attracts hunters from all over.

Members of each three-person hunting team are allowed one shot to kill an antelope. The team that kills the most antelope in the shortest time wins.

The third Wyoming team member isn’t expected to be announced until August.
