This year my brother and I drew our first ever Montana antelope tags. We also farm together and onion harvest was definitely drawing out longer than normal, threatening our chances of getting over to Montana for this hunt. After being rained out of onion harvest again, we decided it was time to just go. I also farm with my sons who had not drawn tags, so I left them in charge of the farm. I was up past midnight loading up the truck and after a few hours of sleep headed out to hunt antelope.

We were hunting some Block Management as well as checking BLM and State sections. My brother was up first and found this buck bedded alone on a very flat piece of Montana, but with one livestock pond bank allowing just enough cover for the sneak.

The next day we hiked into an area that just looked like it should have some goats, after about a mile and a half hike that suspicion proved correct. We both ended up getting our antelope on BLM sections, those GPS maps sure come in handy. After getting back to the truck and heading home we got to witness one of those famous big sky sunsets. Now back home we're still working on getting wet onions harvested, but it sure feels good having notched my first ever Montana antelope tag.
