Pronghorn Buck down w/ longbow

[Ray]

At 9:30 I saw an antelope above me on the sandstone terraces. I stalked this buck to 10 yards among the rocks and sand. Eventually I knew it was really close but not it’s exact location as it was laying down. I shuffled my feet so it would stand out of the bed and give me a shot. It did and I took the shot and it hit good.

After it was hit it ran sideways and downhill with my arrow sticking out of it.  It passed my friend Mike gasping "aaagggh", "aaaggh" who was below and he got to watch almost the whole thing go down. It eventually reached an 8-10 foot cliff and either jumped or fell over this down near the river. It survived this fall but my arrow was placed well.  It stood once again just below me about 7 yards. I hit it with a second arrow. The second arrow ended him right away. He bled out profusely and died 5 yards away. He’s an ok buck. Not a trophy but respectable and the meat will be good.

That’s my first pronghorn and I was happy to have done it with my longbow. Today the weather was great and I am happy.

We'll get some pics up sunday or monday. I have some photos of my partner and his critters. I think I even have video of him shooting his buck.

Right On!!  Any spot and stalk pronghorn is a BIG deal with a longbow!!  Can't wait to see the pics.  Heck, I spent three days in a blind to tag my first buck, and while it was great and all, nothing beats the challenge of a stalk in open country.

Which bow?  Better have been your self bow or a Pacific Yew or Ole Hornseeker is going to have a complex with all of these Hawks killing everything in site.  All but his of course.   Sorry Ernie

Nice job guys.  Seems like just yesterday I was wishing you luck and you've already notched.
