Antelope Success!

My dad and I headed to the northeastern corner of NM on Weds for his M.I. antelope tag. This area was not really known for big bucks, but the sun shined thru! After scouting for a day we located a buck we thought would go book. I actually thought he was bigger, but givin the area, I was cautious, to say the least. We looked at over 40 "normal" bucks, but knew we had our guy!

Opening morning found us at 250 yards from our guy, but the light was a little to bad for my dads eyes. We waited for better light, but the buck and 3 of his buddies moved to far off for the .243 win. After a couple hrs of trying to get within about 100 yard stalking range (with crutches), we decided to sit still and and let the buck come to us. We sat 150 yards from the truck, at the base of a small hill. We could see the bucks at about a mile away, well I could, my dad, he was complaining about his crutch, the ants, a sticker, but had a BIG smile to boot. I noticed the big buck had seperated from the herd and started trotting our way. He would slow to walk, then trout again, all the while coming straight at us!

We watched the buck cover a mile over a 10 min period. He was now 235 yards and turning broadside. When the buck stopped I did not have time to tell my dad to shoot, the deed was done! 1 shot perfectly and luckily thru the center of the heart and the great buck was down. All my dad kept saying was "Are you sure he is dead?" All I said was Congrats.

The buck kept getting bigger and bigger as we walked up! When my dad grabed the horns, he almost let a tear out, but I just about tackled him while giving him a GIANT hug!

We scored the buck in the feild at 84&6/8. When we got home after the 12 hr drive, and meeting a very good friend and seeing his monster goat, we got a final score of 85&2/8. The buck is 15&1/2 long on both horns with 6" cutters and the first 2 mass measurements over 7"! I hope you enjoy the story of a sunshiney day!
