ehunt Report post Posted September 7, 2008 Well we just got back from my mom's antelope hunt and she put the hammer down on a great buck! My dad and i had been watching this buck since july just hoping she would get a crack at him on her hunt. Opening day was a circus with people everywhere trying to out run each other to get a shot at this buck. My mom and i set up first thing in the morning to get a shot at him only to have another hunter shoot from behind us and to our right at over 500 yards to scare the buck two miles in the opposite direction, talk about frustrating! My mom did an awesome job keeping her composure and kept working hard and it paid off! The buck finallly had enough after being shot at six different times by the same group of hunters and split up from his herd and started right towards us as we were set up patiently waiting. My mom made a great 300+ yard shot dropping the buck in his tracks!!! Her buck is absolutely beautiful with his long horn measuring 17 1/2 inches!! He was quite the fighter and broke almost 2" off his tip on the left side and 2" off his left prong. We had an awesome hunt and im so proud of my mom for doing such a great job!!!

ehunt Report post Posted September 7, 2008 thanks everyone for the great comments!! troy, i was thinking the same thing when dirt would fly five feet in front of the buck everytime they shot!!! and we were trying to find cover, amanda, but our only option were those small cacti you see in the pics........
