Got lucky and drew an antelope tag in Utah this year. A week before the opener my brother got a call from UT fish and wildlife and someone had turned their tag back in and he was next on the list. Problem was it was in a different unit 2 hours away from my unit. No worries I told him, take the tag and we'll make it happen.
Opening morning we went to his unit and right at first light we saw 3 bucks. After an unsuccessful stalk we regrouped and were able to relocate one of the bucks and my brother made a great shot.
We had the buck quartered up and back to the truck by 10am so we decided to head to my unit. Driving to the spot I had intended to hunt we spotted some antelope about a mile off the road. We made a plan and hiked around them to keep out of view. As we were making a play on a buck, this buck appeared out of nowhere in front of us and one shot later he was down. We had a rain storm move in but were able to quarter him up and get him back to the truck by 3:00. Pretty great day of antelope hunting and still left time for a pizza dinner that night.
