Finally made it happen

[TJT96]

After two years of not filling a tag but learning invaluable information and tactics along the way, I was finally able to fill my first antelope tag on opening weekend. To make it even better, it was in my home state of South Dakota. Thank you to all of the people on this site that have pm’d me valuable information and insights and helped me get out there and actually try; you can only read about how to do things so much.

I’m not sure if VAspeedgoat is still active on the forums anymore, but a big shoutout to him for helping me get started a few years back.

Real pretty buck! First of many, hopefully.

Awesome! I hope to be there next year filling my first SD antelope tag as well.

Well done! Cool looking buck, hooks back quite a ways.

Nice buck, congrats!

Congrats on a nice buck! I bet they'll start coming a little easier now that you've broken the ice so to speak.

Congrats. I have a few points in SD and look forward to giving it a try out there. I hope I have as much success as you did

That was exactly the case lol. Helped my brother fill his tag in SD and a friend fill two tags in WY the week after this hunt took place.

I hope you can make it out! There’s a ton of public land and seemingly no shortage of game

I thought so too, had a euro-mount done on him. I’m anxious to see how it turns out

I hope you can make the trip. Conversely, I’ve been looking to make it out to the 406 country and chase goats

Way to go. Always something special about the first one.
