[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 1025690, member: 63748"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] Ditto kinda funny, [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]I set up a friend’s daughter on a 650 yard antelope this year on her first year of big game hunting. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]She already filled her first antelope tag with her father with a second tag available. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]The antelope turned and started to walk toward us. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Easy comment, “Well, let’s see what happens, just sit here and have your rifle ready just in case.” [/SIZE][SIZE=3]After several minutes the antelope did not stop walking. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]We were sitting in a prairie in the open, like statues. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]When I could see the antelope’s eyelashes with head partly down I let out a “baaah.” [/SIZE][SIZE=3]The antelope froze and looked toward me. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Another “baaah” remaining motionless. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]It was an excruciating stare down. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]I couldn’t blink. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]The young huntress played my stare down perfectly, ever so slightly placing her rifle in shooting position as the antelope was fixated on the stare down. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]After what seemed like an eternity and dry eyes the shot finally rang out perfectly placed. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]My rifle sat on the bipod no more than an easy sling shot from the antelope yet this rifle did not harvest the animal.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]This first year huntress harvested the closest antelope to date out of the entire hunting party on her first day of hunting. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]650 yards turned spit wad distance. [/SIZE][SIZE=3]Sometimes the thrill of the hunt is being able to say, “Did that just happen?”[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
