First Antelope

[IdahoJoe]

Well It has been three years since I got to go big game hunting but I made it out last week. We took the family out and camped and had a pretty easy vacation. I took two of my nephews out for the opener and it wasn't the first buck we saw but they could hardly stand it any more so I shot. not exactly long range 307 yrds but we all had a good time.

Good for you. The memory's on a hunt like this are what counts! I get just as much joy if not more joy, helping another hunter fill there tag ( helping them find and stalk the animal and packing it) as I do filling my own.

Congrats!

A little clarification.

I was doing the hunting I just took them along. It was their first time big game hunting and they really wanted to see me shoot something so after an hour or so I shot this buck. They helped me dress the carcass and the works.

I still have a few tags to fill this year so I figured it would be worth the loss of a trophy animal for them to have that opportunity.

I agree with the loss. You cant eat horns anyway... They are just a added benefit!

These are the things that make the world go round, form character, and provide grand memories for young men.

Congratulations on the very successful 1 hour hunt.
