south dakota was a grind.

came home empty

if a guy can't get there on the opener there's not antelope in public

put a lot of stalk on critters just over the fence hoping for a break but to no avail

had a 688 shot opportunity but fishtailing winds made it a difficult shot. thought i could make a stalk but a wind switch and blew them out. they never stopped after 2 miles. couldn't turn them up sucks. good high cutters, plenty of mass. upper 70's


stalked a 180+ mule deer in the rain. that was fun.
