I was not about to watch this much of the show then miss the ending. So I snuck up and watched the shot. I was unable to get any good pics of that but did get a few after the shot.
Randy closing in on the second shot.
The scene after a second lethal arrow had been cast.
Now I'm thinking where in the hell is ChuPac (Randy) as this buck is walking on by. Not 30 seconds go by and I see another antelope. ;)
I wasn't the only one surprised.
This right here made my trip. Randy already explained how things went down on his stalk. These are the pics of the whole thing as it happened right in front of me.
Here they are just before leaving to make the stalk.
After 30 minutes I see this.
He has now crossed the road and is walking...
Random pics.
Randy and camera preparing for a stalk.
Here is the same stalk but from about 1000 yards away. The buck is to the left of the guys about 100 yards away.
After running the antelope around in sticks area I headed to look for another cool buck. Not the biggest but cool none the less. He was always on the alert so I never really had a chance at him.
Cool wide buck. If only spread credit counted.
Here are some other random bucks.
This guy watched me for a while as I was closing in on sticks.
I really wanted a shot at sticks but when this "randy buck" was located bedded at 120 yards I decided he was good enough for an arrow. I closed to 80 yards pretty easy but was busted just as I was getting into my comfort zone. He...
Sorry guys my computer is on the fritz no story just pics.
Here is Sticks on my last day.
On my second stalk he picked up a buddy. I was 150 yards out.
Another stalk and again closed the distance to 150 yards. The first stalk was busted by cows the second by does.
Sorry for making everyone wait but I'll make the first line short and sweet to make sure and not lead anyone on. I came home emply handed. Hunted from first light to last light and then made the 17 hour drive back home to Nampa. Made only one, one hour stop at a rest area for some interuppted...
Well after interviews we were left with about 2 hours to search for sticks. We couldn't turn him up so we went to look for a really cool looking wide buck down on the flats. We found him but he wanted nothing to do with us. He never let us get out of the truck. I did make one last stalk on a...
We had a couple of stupid bucks this morning that was begging to be shot. I chose to pass on them for now hoping for another chance at Sticks.
We came back to break camp since ChuPac is leaving tonight. We just beat a huge rain storm and we are in the truck hoping we can get out of it...
Sorry for the lack of updates but the battery on my cell died in the afternoon. Like Randy said it was a long boring wait. After Randy found the buck (sticks) I stalked the previous night, I decided this morning will be spent seeing if we can get close to him.
I think I will have this...
