Me and my hunting partner were lucky enough to draw a antelope tag again. We have drawn 3 times in the last 6 years. We're 6-6 killing goats with archery gear but it took us 10 years to even draw our first tag.

We were getting our butts kicked for the first few days but my buddy connected on day 4 and I connected on day 5. Thanks to another member on this forum for the help. He is a buddy of mine and turned me onto some area to scout.

I took my son on his first bag game hunt for the first two days. He loved it. We saw goats, tons of rabbits, coyotes, 2 Bobcats, a turtle and 3 monster rattle snakes. I let the snakes live but it made me nervous walking out of the blind at night knowing we could get zapped.

Found a turtle cruising around.

Long day in the blind. He did great though.

My hiding spot as I watched my buck walk by at 54 yards. I'm in the picture right in the middle of the tank. The KUIU Vias camo sticks out like a sore thumb where we were hunting but it looked great up against the tank.

I got out of the blind because he was headed our way and I wanted to divert him so he didn't come under the blind for shade. He bowed up and meant business.
