[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 441457, member: 13632"] Thought I would add something for antelope I had happen this year that might be relevant in the future if you make it out west. I had two different scenarios play this year that resulted in a miss but I could have made a correction and dropped them because I had good feed back. The one the goat knew full well I was there and had made visual contact and I had a doe always watching me but they were no where near alarm. The shot went just low but she was quartering in a way that she would have seen the dust with her off side eye, she immediately moved of, the rest moved of but had not idea what had happened , they had been shot at earlier that day but were not on high alert. The second was not the same, the animals had no clue I was there, they were bedded down and I had to wait for them to get up and go to water, I picked a spot that they were stopping to take the shot, the shot went almost though the hair on her back and blew up a bunch of dirt, everyone stopped and spent about a minute trying to figure out what happened. She did not see the shot land and I fired from about 25yrds inside the timber, they knew they had to stop and think and look for me, I could have easily sent another one and been on target. They were wary as I had taken a buck out of the herd two hours earlier but I know they didn't know we were there till the shot. Hope this adds to your info!! [/QUOTE]
