Started back in July when my wife and I found out that we drew early Idaho Antelope bow tags. We had planned on leaving thurs evening (08/16) but due to a mis-hap at the auto store the battery for the 4 wheeler did not fit. So Fri morning I had to go back to the auto parts store for the right one. We finally found ourselves on our way. Still did not know the location that we were going to hunt yet, I had three different areas in mind. on our way down I took a vote in the vehicle and both my children decided that we should go to Plan B spot because they had never been there nor has my wife, so it was decided that we were going to try the new spot. We found ourselves setting up camp at about 6 o’clock that evening, After we got camp set up I hopped on the four wheeler and went to sit two blinds up for the morning part. I set one up for my wife and daughter and I set another one up for my son and I.
The next morning found us up bright and early, all four of us load it up on the four wheeler and headed to the blinds. I drop my daughter and wife off at the first blind, and my son and I continued to our applied and got settled in for the morning.
Shortly after we got settled in. There is not much excitement on the first day, most of the Antelope stayed at a distance because of the new lead so blind on the waterhole. And like typical small children along with the late night my son fell asleep in the blind.
He slept in the blind for an hour. Then he awoke to me telling him to be quiet because we had some antelope approaching the blind. It was no small buck and two fonds, I had decided I would shoot the first small buck that came in. They came to the edge of the water and out of the corner of my eye I spotted another antelope and it was a bigger buck coming to the opposite side of the water hole. I reposition myself and drew on the buck, he was really nervous and was pacing back-and-forth at the edge of the water hole, I than spotted a bigger buck watering slightly closer so I went to turn and shoot him and the cam on my bow scrapped the top of the blind and they both took off.....
