Title: Utah Antelope Success
Post by: Over&Under on August 27, 2019, 06:25:39 PM
A couple weeks before the season started, I set a blind on a pond that held a good bit of water Hunted elsewhere on the opener...and couldn't get back out until a few days later...decided to set the blind most of the day About 9:30, two small bucks come in and water...and they were not hitting it where I expected, so I had open a small part of the other window if future goats were going to hit that same spot
30 min later, 3 good bucks showed up on the hill...but must have caught my wind, one blew snot at me and they left...then a few min later anther good buck shows up behind me...then disappears

A few min later I think the same buck appears about 60 yds out where the little bucks came in from.

He wasted little time coming down to the water, but moved out in front of the blind before watering...good I get to shoot from my chair and not out of the little part of the other window I opened...30 yds...top limb bumps the blind, and it misses just low.

He bounds out to where he come from up on the hill side...turns broadside and stops...I move in the blind to shoot through the little window.

The mesh kinda clouds my vision, but it sounds and he reacts like a hit...he runs about 15 yds laboring bad...thought it was a leg hit based on how the arrow was reacting on the offside but when he stopped and turned, I saw that it was not...he stumbled backwards and died only 8 yds from where I hit him

My first antelope and sure hope it's not my last
