Made it back from our Whitehorse antelope hunt and wanted to post a few pictures of our bucks and give a word of thanks to a few MM members who sent PM's with good advice. htnfool and OregonBighorn thanks a bunch for the help and I wish I could give you some locations for big muleys we saw but I can honestly say that we did not see a muley one! Antelope were a different story though. We camped at Anderson Crossing and hunting towards Oregon Butte and probably saw 50 to 75 lopes per day. Lots of bucks but all in about the same range. We did see a couple of bucks that looked bigger than average while scouting further west on Friday prior to the opener but other hunters moved in and we decided to hunt with limited pressure and take our chances. We killed the first buck on Saturday late morning and I've got to thank my buddy for sticking it out until early Tuesday morning while I looked over tons of bucks trying to find something better than average. When I say sticking it out I mean it - Saturday, Sunday and Monday were all unbearably hot down there, temperatures were well over 100 and in that countly there is no way to get out of the sun. We did find a great seep with lots of activity and some sage to hide in but that sun was just about too much!
Anyway, had a great time regardless of weather. Learned alot and can't wait to go back and do it again in another 12 years! Wish it didn't take so long to draw an antelope tag in this state but I know we enjoyed having this one.
