My son was able to connect with a Wyoming antelope--his first. Not big by most standards, but huge to us. He made a great 185yd shot and the 'lope dropped on the spot. We were hunting near Buffalo and fortunately he was able to take the buck just before the storm hit. A few minutes after this pic was taken the rain, sleet and then snow started in earnest.

Nice antelope. I was hunting over in the Casper area over the weekend with two friends and man was it NASTY. Be very glad you got yours before the weather came.

Weird!?! The code is still there for the original image, but it's not showing up. Anyway, I added another version. We'll see if this one sticks around longer.
