Just returned home! Three of use tagged out yesterday! 60 miles from French Glen! We had a down pour Thursday night, then nice weather up till we left this morning! My first pronghorn hunt, it was great! There was another camp about five miles from our camp. That camp had one tag filled and two to go this morning! I will try and get some pictures up tomorrow! Jeff O, find the cattle then sit and glass, ours followed the cattle around the desert! Cattle equal water!

Gentlemen! Got one yesterday, I'm told he's a decent buck, but he's sure not huge, so let's just get THAT out of the way <grin>... Some camp-neighbor's insisted I put the meat in their chest freezer last night, so with it nearly frozen by this morning (meaning no ice crises), i decided to stay another day and just fished and hung out and played guitar today. The fishing here is spectacular. Small rivers, big native redbands, artificial only, catch and release. Biggest I got was about 16". I cut my teeth in small rivers in NM and CO so I love it. Started with ol' faithful, black bodied Panther Martin, yellow dots, brass blade, 4 lb test. Never had cause to switch. Great groups of guys have been camped in this area. Just was given a bunch of salmon and traded weed samples with some guys. Hey, that's how we roll here in Oregon, don't like it, don't read it. Lots of good antelope intel and advice and beer has flowed in the last week between camps. The guys who gave me the salmon are hunting the next unit over. It would've taken a few MORE years to save up for (this tag took 14 years). They are seeing lots of bucks and are holding out for Mr. Big. I guess I'll try that unit next..... when I'm 68. I got a few pics of my buck. It was mid-afternoon and hot as hell and photos were not my first priority. But I got a few and as soon as I feel like dealing with imgur I'll post 'em. Had Photobucket down pat but that ship has sailed. Imgur is kind of a pain and cell is slow here. The actual shooting of the [bleep] was a bit of a rodeo. All I can do is laugh. I'll post details here in a bit with the pics. In the end I killed him cleanly with one hit but there was some funny chit between deciding to shoot and that. Had an equipment fail that almost screwed the whole thing up- which is just funny since I was carrying a rifle that had born the full brunt of my OCD. Let me finish this IPA and maybe taste the neighbor's sample and I'll put up a couple pics and tell my tale.

I will make a prediction. Jeffo will get a buck but it will be after many, many days of hunting and it will be a dink. But he will brag of making a uber long shot under tough conditions. oops looks like Jeffo posted while I was typing. I am more right than wrong LMAO

Did you have any dangerous encounters with the antelope?
I hear they can be real bad.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

They may weigh a fraction of the what a cape buffalo does, but what they lack in mass is made up by velocity. All these years I had no idea there was dangerous game on the Great Plains. I'll be packing a .416 the next time I go grouse hunting.

No wonder you got him so quick. He's wearing one of those beer can hats and was likely drunk. It should be sweet tasting meat, though.

As he lay. You can see where I hit him in the ribs. Quick clue as to my little rodeo- see anything missing from my rifle? Look carefully.
