42 Antelope down

nangmp · Aug 22, 2019

Got him. My number 2 choice but well worth it.

Started at 1.5 miles. Drove to 1200 yards. Hiked 1200 ft. Went past him. Doubled back and he poked out at 30 yards. Hit the ground. He didn't see me. Adjusted turrets to 200. Waited. Ranged at 209 and he saw me and froze. Shot half standing and half kneeling. He ran down hill and died 20 ft in the side of the road I drove to get up there. For once not a mile pack out. All done by 0730 again.

looks like a really good one. Are you in the witness protection program or have a lousy photographer????

Quite the sniper gun too....

Congrats on a mighty fine antelope! Thanks for posting your story, photo, and scoresheet. These animals are so hard to judge on the hoof it helps to have this information to help get a frame of reference for future field judging...
