Successful Nevada Antelope Hunt

[Hammnit]

Folks,
Just got back from a successful antelope hunt in northern Nevada. After 3 days of scouting, I ended up shooting the first antelope that I saw on opening morning. He was by far the best one that we'd seen. My dad and two oldest girls were with me and were able to witness the whole thing which made it a very special hunt.

My buck is 16" tall (17" wide) with decent cutters and mass. Not sure what he'll score, but I would have been happy with a lot less of a buck. Better to be lucky than good!

Thanks to all those that helped me out and pointed me in right direction. The information was right on!

Very nice goat, congrats.... And I heard you were being a true "sportsman" by firing a "warning shot" for that goat? Must have been because the girls were there and you wanted to show them what a sport dad was huh???

 

[Hammnit]

Must have been all the "positive influences" that I had growing up!

"must have been from all the positive influences growing up"

Yep, from your "real" dad "Andy R." I'm guessing? .......... It was that "other dad" who told on you about the warning shot by the way... Like he's never missed huh?
