archery antelope

[bow4elk]

I spent three days daylight to dark in a blind to tag my first antelope buck with a bow.  Rock Springs, WY.  Great hunt but I was in my underwear most of the day as it was nearly 100 degrees in that blind - all &*$% day!  I put clothes back on for photos  

I found a photo of this antelope...1994.  Clunky but effective homemade plywood blind, Double Bull was just getting started back then    I needed to lash the thing down in the gusty Wyoming winds.

while I'm digging into the old photos, here's a decent buck that was coming in but got skittish before I could make it count.

still undecided for sure

I am definitely  not knocking blind hunting. It is effective and does obviously get results. Good luck on your hunt. I think you will enjoy it either way. Make sure to have a cooler with ice and get that thing skinned and on some ice as soon as you can. I really liked eating antelope and thought they were really neat to hunt. There's nothing like watching a line of them centipede up and over a hill at high speed.

Nice critters bow4elk.

Didn't mean to threadjack here.  I never had that buck measured because he was probably right around the minimum.

I thought it looked like it might but im no expert thats for sure... one like that would be nice but i'd be happy with about anything for my first one or at least thats what im thinking now before i see whats out there
