I made my way to @Pucky Freak and together we made the approach. After about 30 minutes we see the first doe walking from left to right. We sat down and I readied my rifle. He ranges her at 200 yards. Pretty soon another doe is following, then two more. I practice my aim from a seated shooting...
I came to the same conclusion. For me its not worth the $ and waiting to draw a Buck or Bull tag Growing up in Nevada I drew every year. Not anymore so I had to come to grips and ask myself why I enjoy hunting My conclusion is that I enjoy being out and seeing big came. Now I run a trap line...
The Stalk
We got back to the hotel and organized gear and turned in for the night. I was up getting ready for 15 minutes before the 4:30 am alarm. My dad and son were just a bit slow to get out of bed. We got our stuff together and began the 55 minute drive to our intended spot. We arrived a...
I think it went exactly how this hunt was supposed to.
There's only about 5 chunks of ground that are both accessible and have a reasonable chance of holding an antelope in the unit. They range in size from a half section of ground to about 10,000 acres. We had an opportunity immediately as we...
As a WY resident you can get general deer and general elk every year. Antelope is draw and no general option. At least where I hunt the general deer is good everywhere I go. I got my archery mulie last year while elk hunting. If you are OK with doe antelope you should be able to hunt all 3 every...
Well, it's been a few weeks since the hunt and I haven't gotten around to posting even a picture, let alone a recap of the hunt. So, I guess I will go about that now. I am sitting on 5 points for antelope here in UT. My 16 yr old had 3 points. We both put in for the same unit and he drew and I...
My homeboy, C, came in from across the state where he’d moved with his new bride. He brought his lovely wife and we headed to Montana to hunt doe antelope with my daughter Hope. We had three tags. I got a bonus coyote, C got a doe, and I also got a doe after my daughter missed one. It was a long...
Ages ago when I lived in Cheyenne, Wyoming I walked into a pawn shop. An elderly woman walked out. At the gun counter, a man who turned out to be the owner was looking at an old rifle she had just bought in to sell on consignment.
I asked to see it, picked it up and asked about it. She was a...
Sun AM no alarm set, so we can catch up on sleep. I got up before sunrise to catch a little walk.
I got several panorama photos that are better, but the file size is too large to upload.
Sun AM slow start as planned. About 9 AM we leave camp to try and relocate the group of animals from the...
More hiking and glassing. I have a whitetail doe tag so we did some glassing along the river bottom. No deer seen so off we go again. Last piece of public for the day there's some antelope not far off the road. The boys decide Reece is up again so all he has to do is sneak over a small rise and...
Well the stalk on the heart shaped buck went very well. We got 350 yards or so until we ran out of cover. So we got setup and luckily they were rutting fairly hard still on Sept. 29. They ended up getting to about 252 yards from us. She took the shot and no go, and those antelope took off like a...
