Antelope ( pronghorn ) hunt

Post by catcher »

I was recently in Whoyming on an Antelope hunt and was lucky enough to be successful , it was a tough hunt as you usually hunt water holes for pronghorns , but there was a lot of water everywhere from recent rains . Also the rut was in full swing and that made spot and stalk very hard as they were on the move the whole time. I was mainly hunting out of a blind ( 93 degrees out ) and using a decoy . And this poor love sick buck could not resist a closes look. He was not the biggest buck I saw but under the conditions we were presented with our guide was suggesting if you get a shot at a good buck do not pass. He came from about 300 yards straight in to my decoy I had out about 15 yards from my blind. And once he hit the 20 yard mark I sent a PX2 broadhead pushed by a custom Boostring off the the rail of my Excalibur Matrix 380 easily with my TriggerTech trigger. He went about 40 yards with a double lung shot . All in all it was a great trip with great friends. Hope everybody has great success with the remaining fall. I'm looking forward to seeing some deer pictures.

Congratulations! That's awesome. It's amazing how fast those little buggers are. I drew an antelope tag in Alberta a few years ago and was blessed to shoot a nice little 11" buck. Enjoy, they are delicious. :D
