Sunday is our second day in Wyoming, and our first full day of antelope hunting. After eliminating some of the potential hunting areas on Saturday, we start to find some better looking antelope spots in our unit. We locate a small herd of antelope on a block of BLM land and begin a stalk using the rugged terrain to conceal our movement. When we pop up at nearly 300 yards, the herd gets nervous and starts to move off to our right. T-Roy gets settled into shooting position with the shooting sticks and waits for a doe to stop. At just over 300 yards, the Sako .308 finds its mark right through the front shoulders and the first antelope of the trip - and T-Roy's first big game animal ever - goes down. Pictures and video to come soon. The rest of the day is spent cutting up and packing the meat and checking out more of our hunting area.
now you're in for some good eating. congrats on the hunt
Thanks, Steve. It is great eatin'! We cooked up some backstrap the day after we shot the first antelope and I was impressed. Since then, we've already made a roast, fixed up some summer sausage, and even used the leftover roast meat to make some vegetable soup! I got a feeling these two does aren't going to last until my next WY trip! Guess I will have to supplement with a little KY whitetail
