[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2740495, member: 91783"] The next day I went up on the mountain to his upper place to check it out find my way around and do a little calling. I got set up and was glassing watching a group of antelope one of the does was continually kicking herself in the stomach. She did that for nearly half an hour then laid down and aborted her fawns.
