So I finally found some antelope worth chasing. However I've got two issues to deal with -- one's a good problem to have, the other not so good.
The Good. I found a big group of bucks with about 7 or 8 that I wouldn't think twice about shooting. Keep in mind I've never hunted antelope so my standards are pretty low at this point. I'd say the "shooters" are at least 12", but that's coming from someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. There's one beautiful wide buck with some really nice curl and then there's Droopy. Droopy has a real nice right side, but the left drops down in front of his face. I think I know which one I'm going to go after, but which one would you rather shoot.
The Not So Good. Then there's the issue of the blinds. Someone has already stuck up two blinds in the area I was planning on hunting. How courteous would you be in my situation? I've never had the chance to hunt these critters and I don't have too many other options in the section I'm hunting in. I'm not going to go sit in the guy's blind opening morning, but I'm also not going to avoid the area. I don't want to be a jackass, but I may only have this season and next to chase goats before my wife makes me move back East.
Your thoughts?
