Got these two on the opener way back in October, but just now got around to scanning the photos.
I got mine early in the morning. We had spotted the herd the evening before and arrived before light to make the sneak. Well, the herd had moved close to the road and when we got out of the car to start our sneak, they bolted...lesson learned (again)! About an hour later we finished the sneak on the same herd and I made my shot.
My lope
We had to look around through lunch and into the afternoon before we found a buck we could get close enough to for my wife to make the shot. We finally found two bucks together in a swale and made a sneak on them from a hill opposite them. three clean misses and one good lung hit later, she had her lope. It fell within about 100 yards of the road, which was a bonus.
And a photo of our car before we headed home to butcher
Hope you enjoyed!
