Finally notched my muzzleloader antelope tag this last Saturday. I had put in a lot of days and miles…and I had missed a REALLY BIG one early in the season, only to find out later that my gun was off from getting dropped earlier in the day. 13 clicks of adjustment later, and lots of miles behind the wheel and days behind the binos and I just couldn’t turn the good one back up, and the one time I did, he wouldn’t stay still. Combine that with the smoke, wind and hampered visibility at times, and it was getting to be crunch time this weekend. Early Saturday morning this one was chasing and I thought he was one of my “second place” bucks I watched Friday night. I stalked him with the decoy and he came running to fight to 45 yds, and I pretty much shot in self defense. Walking up to him he was a little smaller than the “second place” one and smaller than some others I passed early in the hunt, but was a cool experience, and I love when they decoy and come running - hard to pass up.
