Spent Sat and Sun seeing very few lopes, but coyotes were running rampant and let me warm the barrel. I decided to try a new area this morning and found a few more, but nothing that got me real fired up. Cool deal is we got a record breaking snow last week and nearly everyone was either not hunting due to the mud or staying on the main roads. About mid-day I decided to take my rifle for a walk. I knew there were some lopes where I was headed, but didn't know if there was anything I wanted to take home. I ended up crawling into a few bedded pronghorn that ended up being a group of 37....until they left....then, 36.

I passed this guy by when I was trying to see through the sagebrush prone after crawling 100 yards. He then turned his head and I decided he was good enough for what I had been seeing. Shot him at 175 yards. Happy with the decision. Fun weekend.

I like how you're cooling the antelope.

Congrats
 
Great lope and looked to be a fun trip! Seems the coyotes are as thick as mice this year, saw a lot more than usual this past weekend as well. Enjoy those tender loins! Polished off one tonight and antelope just might have leap frogged elk in my book.

Saw quite a few. I am not a great shot, so glad they were naive this time of year. 3 for 3 on Saturday.
