Tuesday was rain off and on all day. I spotted a nice buck on public but he was a smart one. He was bedded down perched on a hillside where it was impossible to get to him for a shot. We moved on to other areas but didn't see anything on public.
After a bit I decided to go back to see if the buck moved. Spotted a herd further back from where the buck was with a buck in it. Not sure if it was the same buck but I'm going after him.
I take off while the wife stays back to watch ( I think just doing puzzles in her crossword book). They are about 3/4 mile back in a small valley. The only cover I have is right along the boundary line where there is folds in the landscape. By the time I get there they are gone. As I put my rifle in the gun bearer I hear something loose. When I look at it my scope is wiggling around like a bobble head. Oooohhhh great now I need to figure this out. When I get back to the truck the wife told me the antelope just fed over the hill onto private. Well atleast I didn't spook them out of there.
I tighten the scope and go off to sight it in again. There's a small piece of public that I haven't seen any animals on so I figured that's a good place to shoot. I had a folding table with two plywood cutting boards for deboneing meat in the back of the truck. No other targets with me I now have a cutting board with a circle drawn on it and two bullet holes in it.
My buddy and his wife had drove separate so we all decide to check some public on our way out for the day. Batteries getting low on my GPS it was acting up so as I'm looking at it I also see a herd with a nice buck that I think is on private land. As I keep moving my buddy stops. I figured he was just watching the herd. When I get back to the hotel I find out that it was public land and my buddy put a stalk on but no shot do to the antelope constantly moving around.
