Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

2025 California Antelope. Took me 23 years to draw this tag. Likely Tables. 1 shot 25-06 100 grain TTSX. 200 yards. Had fun cutting it up with my son in the kitchen. Fun hunt but not many antelope.

Just got back from Wyoming this Sunday in time to celebrate our Thanksgiving with the rest of the fam. Though this wasn’t my eldest’s first hunting trip South of the border, it was her first trip and big game hunt with a tag to her name! We had a big first morning with several failed stalks trying to get her within her inside a comfortable shooting distance, the winds were high and pronghorns skittish. I ended up filling my tag first while she was eating lunch and watching me from the truck.

With my tag notched and her belly full, we managed to focus on her hunt for the rest of the trip. Her last stalk was challenging to say the least. We spotted a group of two bucks and four does at a water hole. We worked the terrain but struggled to get to a point where she could take a shot with the high sage and the pronghorn being on the reverse side of a slope. Most of the pronghorns ended up spooking with the high winds but one of the bucks stayed back as they hadn’t seen us. We slowly crawled, inch by inch, to a spot she could make a shot. She dropped him in his tracks and I couldn’t be any more proud of her and how she did. Now onto whitetail hunting for her!
