Old Buck Report post Posted August 26, 2013 Archery antelope in 31/32 is a very hard hunt. I have spent 30 days over 3 seasons hunting this hunt. You did great! Thanks for posting the photos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Stahl Report post Posted August 26, 2013 I want to thank everyone for the comments! This was the hardest archery hunt i have had, but it has also been a dream of mine to take a archery antelope! I sat a blind Friday for 13 hr waiting for a big buck i had been seeing and only had a little buck come in. It rained Friday night so sat. was all spot and stalk, drew on a buck but didn't get a shot. I chased goats all day! They are the hardest animal to spot and stock because they just don't stop, At one point they will be going one way so you try to sneak over and get on them then they change there mind and go the other way, ( with all the cover there is out there in the flats it makes it tough)! Sunday morning left town a little late do to a blowout and late night getting home sat night, got out there started glassing and this buck walked across the road about 300 yd from us. It was on had some trees to stalk behind, ran from tree to tree to close the distance. Got to 106 yd and he put his head down and started feeding off, went to the next and last little tree i had he was 92 yd. He was looking my way, didn't know what i was i just sat there. He then walked towards me to try and see what was over there, Started making a scrape on the ground and forgot all about me. Ranged him 68 yd drew and the fever sat in, couldn't hold the pin on him to save my life. Shot like 1'' over his back, the buck ran a little bit to the left looked around as i ranged him again 68yd wow! At this point the fever was gone drew and the arrow hit right where i wanted it to, he ran about 70 yd and down he went! That's when i think everyone in that unit may have been able to here me and my brother witch was about 300yd behind me! I'm glad my brother was there to share the hunt with me!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joey lvr Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Congratulations Justin!! I work with your wife and I been asking her how you been doing. She mentioned all your frustrations the past week and she told me today that you got one. I told her you probably couldn't imagine how he feels and the accomplishment that comes with it all. Congratulations again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
