Opening day antelope

The muzzleloader opener was good to me yesterday. Lucked into the biggest antelope I've ever shot.

Nice buck did you see plenty of goats or was it thin pickings

After seeing your pictures over the years, I hardly believe it had much to do with “luck”.

Congratulations on a great antelope.

I’m a terrible estimator on size so when you get a tape on him, I’d love to know what he measures out at, if you wouldn’t mind. He sure looks huge to me.

That’s an awesome buck! Congratulations on a successful hunt.

Congrats on the great looking antelope!

Wyo_Roadhunter · 2024-09-02T17:45:09-0600

Thanks everyone! I actually haven't put a tape on him yet but I held him up to my other one that was almost 83 and this ones definitely bigger.

Uttaxi1 · 2024-09-02T17:49:32-0600

AZGuy · 2024-09-03T02:23:52-0600

Sweeeet!!

PleaseDear · 2024-09-03T03:18:43-0600

Very Nice.

I don't know what unit you drew out .

I can remember when we could do Unit 99 Muzzy as a 2nd choice and almost always draw if we didn't get our 1st choice.

Times have changed.

just finished measuring him and we got 85". And as for a story we was just driving up and down roads learning the unit since I'd never been there and just lucked into him!

Thank WR.

“Roadhunter’s” aren’t lucky, they are “on sight” when things happen. Again, luck has very little to do with your success………. some times it’s just easier than others.

How did you get close enough to shoot it with a muzzle loader. Rolling hills or gullies? How far from the road? He didn’t get that big being unaware of his surroundings.
