Slightly quartering toward. Spotted him alone at 300 and he walked toward us... Not a smart move on his part. “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

All 6 ended up dead with soupy internals so I don't think an exit matters with the Berger VLD.

But, it's dead and I'm gonna have antelope summer sausage, so I could care less. “There are some who can live without wild things and some who cannot.” ALDO LEOPOLD

Chasing antelope gets in the blood, I haven't hunted them for a few years now and sure miss it. I hear ya on the not wanting to go back.
