Yeah, it’s all fun and games until I had to sit down to spot your shot

I may or may not have packed my shovel carefully out of view so as to avoid suspicion…

Didn’t bring your sleeping bag so you could use his…I see where this is going!

I made my way to @Pucky Freak and together we made the approach. After about 30 minutes we see the first doe walking from left to right. We sat down and I readied my rifle. He ranges her at 200 yards. Pretty soon another doe is following, then two more. I practice my aim from a seated shooting position, and feel pretty comfortable. We are waiting for a buck, as we know there are a couple in the group. Sure enough, antelope number 5 is a mature buck. He steps into the clear and stops broadside. I steady my aim and fire. The buck jumps, takes a few steps and turns straight away. He stands there for several minutes looking sick. Finally he turns again and I give another shot. Still standing. Third shot and he stumbles and tips over backwards. Not the one shot I was hoping for, but he's down and we celebrate with some pictures, ans then get to work.View attachment 347079View attachment 347081View attachment 347083View attachment 347084

Big thanks to @Pucky Freak for all the help on this one! Back to his unit for the last day of the season tomorrow.

Congrats on the dandy of a buck.
