Here is Mrs Dakota and Dakota Jr's 05 Wyoming lopes.
The missus had two opportunities at much nicer lopes but for one reason or another the stalks didnt pan out the way we would have liked them to and she was able to get up on this little fella later in the afternoon, I told her he was just a young buck but she made it clear to me that she wasnt in this for a pride thing and would be happy to be able to take this guy. I gave her the nod and she dumped him from about 100 yards. This is her first antelope.
And here is juniors goat, ironicaly I had convinced the missus to pass this particualr goat up a week earlier. When it became Matts turn to go out hunting we found him again and Matt decided that this would be a good one to try to put the sneak on. We made our way down a hill and the herd was on a creek bottom with steep/deep cut banks. As we made our way down the does started to get nervous and began heading out the opposite side of the creek. The buck was nowhere to be seen and eventually all the does were well up and out of the creek. So I told Matt to set his bi-pod and get ready and I would peek over the creek bank, just as I stood to look over I could see two black horns be-bopping in our direction so I quick like sat back down and told Matt to be prepared. The buck cleared the creek bank about 20 yards right in front of us but head on. He saw us and began to get that sinking feeling in his stomach and he quartered away and trotted about 20 more yards out and stood broadside and Matt let the air out of him with a textbook shot. This is his second antelope now and he is just 13. Very happy kid and I am a proud dad.
