Damn wish I could have made it out this year! Glad you guys had some luck on the harvest! Keep them pics coming...
There is no over-the-counter for antelope this year except archery right?
Correct. I don't remember there ever being an OTC rifle or muzzleloader tag for antelope.
That is one big fat cow, congratulations, Irving! That should be a year's worth of excellent meat. If you are butchering yourself, package most of the hind quarters as steaks. Many cuts of the round are as good and tender as the loin/backstrap.
"I think we got very lucky and don't expect to come across an opportunity like that ever again."
A 35 yard shoton an elk is a gift to be remembered. I recall vividly the scenes where I took a cow at 35 yards, and another at 19 yards. My average is ~70 yards, the longest is about 220 yards.
Congrats to those who got some this year!
In 7 days of BP hunting I had ONE opportunity this year and blew it. Dumbass.I learn something new every year.
Dad started of the season by taking his third and largest dall sheep in Alaska. This ram had 14 1/2" bases, 41" curl and 26 1/2" spread tip to tip. He and I will be headed out second season to hopefully put tags on a couple of muley bucks and a couple bulls as well.
