Got my buck

Great looking buck, now you just have to wait the drying period and take your place in the Pope and Young records! Congratulations my friend on a great pronghorn with a bow.---------SS

That's a good looking buck. =D>

sweet looking goat, congrats!!!!! :thumb

Cool buck, nice cutters and mass. Glad it worked out for you. :thumb

Nice Job!!
I can't even imagine taking antelope with a bow.

Nice buck! How did you get him? Blind, spot and stalk?

Blind, spot and stalk?

I guess if the buck was blind, it would be easier to pull off a spot and stalk!! lol . Just kidding, I've been in the field with Jeff, he walks ALOT and is pretty sneekee. That buck looks oddly familiar and I might have even seen it before.------------SS

I wish I had a story of a great spot and stalk. As far as the buck being blind, he very well could have been. I had taken my wife and daughter with me for the weekend because my daughter, who is 5, was dying to go camping. My plans were to go hunting while they stayed in camp and did whatever it is females do in camp while the men are hunting. Well we woke up on Saturday morning and all I heard was "its cold, I want to go home" and then my daughter started in as well, I guess her idea of camping was a little different than the real thing. So I cooked some breakfast and broke camp and told my wife I wanted to check out an area where I had seen some bucks on the opener. Once we got into that area I made her drive so I could watch for some animals, as soon as she started driving I seen a doe running around in circles, then I spotted the buck, he was running her pretty good. I told the wife "drive down the road and turn around, when we get back by the buck I'll hop out and try to get close enough for a shot" So we got there and I hoped out and got some sage brush in between us and kind of did a crouch walk for 10 yds to close the gap. As soon as I stood up the buck was watching me, I guessed 35 yds, held my 30 yd pin a little high and released the arrow, the rest is history. My wife had driven up the road a little ways and was watching the whole thing unfold, she was a little shook up at how fast this all happened, it all seemed like slow motion to me. After I let the buck lie for a while I got my daughter out of the truck and started "tracking" him, (I could see him from the truck) I told Afton follow the blood and keep looking ahead, in case he's standing there watching, well a few minutes later she yells "there he is" "I found him" she was quite proud of her tracking skills. It was great having them with me and a lot of fun teaching her to track.

Congrads Jeff!!

That is a great story to me. 10sign: Anytime you can include the family the better. Thank you again for your help with my Book Cliff hunt.

Thanks, I hope some of the info I gave you helped out.

It did! check out my Book Cliff thread and you will see my buck! Thanks Again.

Congrats Jeff on another successful hunt.

Beauty of a buck! congrats and thanks for sharing! :thumb

Congrats on a great buck! And that with the bow! Mind me asking what unit you got him in?

I finally (2 years later) got my buck scored..He wasn't as big as the first guy scored him but, he's big enough. At 69 6/8 he's in the book.
