Hello everyone
First I want to thank all of you for assisting me with trying to score a couple of lopes on the hoof. They are pretty hard to judge when I am so used to mule deer & elk...an experienced eye (such as you guys) certaily helps with these animals.
That being said, here is my first antelope. I planned and practiced long shots with my .06 all summer and ended up taking the shot at 60 yards! Isn't that how it always goes...I am extremely happy with him. He had a large body; almost deer sized. I was even fortunate enough to have taken video & pictures of him while scouting- I am almost positive he is the first picture I asked everyone to score. It was an awesome hunt with several smaller animals within bow range for the first part, ending with a wonderful mature buck. Thank you for all of your help & happy hunting!
