Gastro Gnome - Eat Better Wherever

Five antelope, seven days

We stalked into a group of 4, but they semi spooked before we were setup. We spooked a coyote that went the other way and they ran off a ways, but are working back towards us. Pucky is about 30 yards away from me, I can just see his orange. I'm prone in the sage waiting for the boom...
 
Waited an hour, but antelope never crossed back to public. We did a ton more hiking, but pretty uneventful. 20 antelope in an island of private…if they move they cross on public and are fair game. We guess where they will cross and drive a huge loop around to intercept them. They ended up crossing where we started from 🤦‍♂️

Warm today and 7” snow tomorrow.

Damn bro!
That’s quite the outfit. Those Sitka shorts?

With the storm rolling in Monday night we packed up camp and headed to Nate’s unit. Got to bed late and slept hard, and woke up to a blanket of wet snow this morning.

The first half of the day we spent scouting, checking off wet/impassible roads and making notes of where to glass once the fog lifted. We saw one group of antelope by the road, which had one good buck and one really nice buck. They were on public, but about 75 yards out of the unit boundary.

Snow/rain continued through the day, but by noon visibility had improved to about 200 yards. We decided to hike around the area where the antelope were spotted to locate other animals, or possibly the big buck if he had crossed the unit boundary. We located 2 different groups of antelope for a morning ambush, and otherwise managed to get all our gear soaking wet.
