EliAGrimmett Report post Posted September 7, 2008 That buck is definitely awesome! The two inches broken on the prong were broken fairly early in the year. The horn tip was broken much closer to the season. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug~RR yeah i was getting really pi%%ed, but i knew my mom was getting discouraged when ever time we would sneak in, one of them would take super long shots at the buck. but karma worked her magic, and i wish i knew what they were thinking when that buck dropped right in front of their eyes as they were glassing him!!!!

Red Rabbit Report post Posted September 8, 2008 Eric, They were probably thinking how they wished they had worked on their stalking and shooting abilities more. More likely they were cussing and thinking they had the buck shot out from right under them. Do you know if they ever saw you and your folks? Doug~RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doug~RR i know they saw us at least once. they had two spotters set up in the middle of the flat that i think were just keeping them updated where the antelope were going. the hunters were driving around in their vehicle until they cut the antelope off, then they would get out and take a few shots. i know the spotters saw us kill the buck, but the hunters had gotten back in their vehicle to try and cut off the antelope again, but little did they know the big buck had turned around.
