My First Antelope!!

Not much of a story. I hunted hard on opening day with no luck. I saw a lot, but just couldn't close the distance. I had to work the rest of the week until today which is the last day. I showed up to my spot just as legal shooting time clicked over...and a herd of Antelope were on the road in front of me. I got close then jumped out...went along the ditch and popped up and got a 100 yard shot. My hunt was over in just minutes. I'm happy with him and next time i'll look for the monsters I was seeing out there.

Congrats. That is a nice looking first antelope.
How many others was he with?
What did you shot him with?

Nothing wrong with that buck congrats.

Imagine what are trophy rooms would look like if we never had to go to damn work everyday.

I saw over 50 antelope today including mine. They were all over the place! I saw at least 8 bucks my size just today...and many does.

I'm using a .300 win mag, Sako. I love it for everything I chase!

I put in for 5 years but I think it only takes 4 years in this zone.

"stink-a-lope","turbogoat" I thought I had heard all the slang names people call pronghorn.

Congradulations on your buck. I don't mind a little blood in a field pic but I think your pics have a little much. Sunrise on the prairies and hunting antelope, doesn't get much better does it.
