scott Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Here is the story. I was hunting 3B south, there was only 5 tags issued. Azpackhorse(brian) and I hunted opening day without much luck. I got sick on saturday and didn't hunt all day. I saw lots of antelope sunday and monday and made a few stalks. I just couldn't get any closer than 80 to 90 yards. Tuesday I spotted a herd about a mile away and made a stalk on them. They had moved by the time I got close and had to relocate them. Finally spotted a doe about 100 yards out and started to get closer when the buck stepped out about 50 yards away. He must have seen some movement and was coming to investigate. He finally offed a shot at about 45 yards and when I drew he looked right at me. When I released he spun and ran. It looked like he jumped the string and I thought I missed. He ran about 75 yards and layed down. I waited and watched them but it started to rain and lightning was hitting very close by. They got spooked and took off. I followed them slowly, it was a very good blood trail. He eventually broke off from the does and would stop every 40-50 yards. I spotted him laying down behind a cedar and stalked to 51 yards. I tried to get another shot off but he saw me and got up and took off. It was raining pretty hard at this point and I was worried I would loose the blood trail. I watched him bed up again and watched until it was dark. The coyotes must of found him soon after I left. I could see where they jumped him up and chased him. He would circle around cedar trees to get away. I eventually found him about 200 yards from where he last layed down. There was a coyote still on him and I tried to shoot him but missed. I couldn't belive how quick those coyotes ate him. He was pretty much all gone. I will be back there this fall to do some calling, time to even the score.
