LAST EDITED ON Nov-09-16 AT 11:08AM (MST) by Founder (admin)[p]After watching this antelope for a month, we got on this antelope and had to crawl on hands and knees for about 200 yards in order to get about 250 yards from them. She shot and hit low. Tried shooting three more times as they ran and stopped but missed. We were able to get on him again and crawled about 150 yards and ended up about 250 yards away from him and some does. Luckily my wife had decided to drive down the road they were by and take their attention off us. She sat up on the tri-pod and shot low again. They ran about 10 or fifteen yards and stopped. The whole time they were looking at the truck trying to figure out what was going on. After about 15 minutes the does started coming towards us with him following. He came in to about 50 yards facing us trying to figure out what we were and she made an awesome shot in the center of the chest. It was so awesome to watch the excitement as she and I jumped up and down. Then she made Dad cry! As we were standing there she looked at me and said that was the best feeling she ever had and she would hunt with me forever! I think I got more joy out of watching her harvest this animal, than I got from any animal I have ever taken.

Thanks everyone, we cannot wait to get it back from the taxidermist. He scored it at 81 1/8!!! Dad will probably never top this one, just glad I was able to share it with her!
 
Awesome job awesome story. If only they would stay with us dads forever!!! Hope she is your hunting buddy for life buddy... And hope my little girl will be mine.
 
Thanks everyone, she is so excited with all the posts she has received!!!! She looks at this site every night with me!! P.S. I think Dad is still on cloud nine as well.
