Scouting - Antelope Opener, who has been out and who is IN?!

Focoelkman · Aug 11, 2020

Howdy and happy Tuesday - has anyone been out scouting antelope? Who is going this weekend? My son and I went out last Sunday, and found a few good bucks. One was really good. Huge, thick, good prongs and tall.
Boy is it dry. Not the numbers I was hoping to see, but found plenty. Anyway, just checkin'. Good luck to all.

This was his rifle hunt two years ago.

I drew my 1st antelope tag this year - muzzle loader buck in 551. There are only a few dozen antelope in the unit, but I'm really looking forward to the hunt. I've been scouting all summer. Nothing for the record books, but I hope to put some meat in the freezer.

Haven’t been out to scout the unit I’m going to be hunting but I’ve got to figure my situation out first. Thinking I may have to cancel my daughters tag instead of trying to get access to some private land last minute.
I’ll be heading down to my unit probably in two weeks to take a look.

All I saw was SMOKE while on backpacking scout trip for deer. Fires in Glenwood springs area

My buddy and I made the drive from Idaho for a 2 day scouting trip 2 1/2 weeks ago. We saw enough to get us excited. Really dry. Cows already moved off the range and big stock ponds and even a few reservoirs totally dried up.

Great story!!!

But. Praying for rain!

Happy hunting boys and girls.

Shot placement maybe questioned. Well the damn thing went 50 yards and piled up. Brooks had a great shot at the release the buck jumped quartering away, and buried the 100 gr. in behind the back last rib / cage and Off front shoulder.
Easy track job

I shot this buck in 551 on the 2nd day of the season. My first antelope tag - very happy to take this one.
