Well my son had his first hunt as the trigger young man and he could not get it done. I was happy to see he drew a special, ES antelope tag on a great ranch. He did well, after many failed stalks, he got his chance. .308 125gr NBT, 285 yards and bam. I am proud of him and was a great weekend with my kids. A added bonus my daughter went and saw the whole thing. Now she wants to go so she can beat her brother. Not a monster, but a great first antelope. Thanks for alowing me to share. ![[Linked Image]](http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/hunting1/imagejpg5_zps30519a4e.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/hunting1/imagejpg3_zpsb5053510.jpg)
Good Shooting!

hunting1; Thanks for sharing the family hunt photos with us and please send along congratulations to your son on the pronghorn and the fine shooting. I'll send you a tip of the hat too as these hunts don't happen without a lot of time and effort put in by the parents/mentors of the young hunters. Well done sir. Thanks again and all the best luck to you and yours in the rest of this fall's hunts. Dwayne

Very cool, indeed! Congratulations--you have both of them hooked, now. As BC30cal said, it takes a lot of effort to get to where they are now, and you deserve the credit.
