Decided to take Tuesday off and chase pronghorn (or have them come to me).

I missed a very nice buck on the opener and have been trying to wait for him to show up again. Tried to decoy him on Sunday, but he wasn't fallin' for it. I decided if a decent one showed up I was slinging.

Here is one I passed up last week. Although not a great buck, he has character.



Action was pretty good, although most were dinks. Still big fun.



Bastage is giving me the tongue.:D


Another dink at 36 yards.


Couple thirsty pups.


Cautious coming in...


...but falls for it anyway.

My buddy passes through, but decides not to partake.

I decided if he comes back I will pull the trigger...he did...so I did.

Axl also made an appearance.

Best of luck to you out there chasing pronghorn.

Nice pics! And a dandy buck. I drew a MT speedgoat tag this year, and you have just officially fired me up... .

Thanks...

Dennis

Great job!!! I like the looks of that dude, he's got a lot of "cool" factor with those diggers. Just firmed up the connection today via phone with my buddy over South of Jordan, 20,000 acres and only 4 of us hunt it each year. It's a go and seeing this post is definitely getting me fired up. The .270 is dialed in and waiting in the safe...............

Cool goat!! I cant wait. 4 more weeks for my trip!!

Very nice goat! Nice interesting cutters. How long is he, around 13"? P&Y is he not? It's been several years since I hunted them, my estimations may be off, just curious. Awesome buck either way!

Great pics! And a very nice buck!

Fantastic!

Give Axl a ham sandwich for me (grin)...

Nice goat, and nice pictures.

Thanks for the luck, by the way. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need it.

That's cool, I like seeing the dog in all your pics.

Outstanding pics and congrats on the buck! Thanks for posting.

Cocky lope.

Very, very fine buck. I seldom see an achery hunter get any pronghorn bucks.
Wonderful pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Would be interested as to what he scores. E

Very cool. Congrats.

Nice goat and great pictures. I am not much for shooting them when they come to water, however. Seems unsporting to me.

Nice goat, cool pictures! Congrats.
Dave

Then you will hate the way I hunt ducks...not only do I hunt water, but also decoy 'em.

giggle

Please enlighten us on which tactics you approve as "sporting."

I knew a guy who was so tall he could hunt 'em with a rake...

Congrats on the pronghorn. On to the "real" goats next week, or you gonna wait for them to hair up?

Holy schit I hope that was a joke. Guy takes a nice goat with a bow and still gets a critique?

Nice job Craig. Glad you stuck one.


Travis

Nice. Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I guess hunting animals where they bed, eat, or travel must be unsporting also.

Nice antelope Miller!

That cockylope pic is great.

Great pics thx for sharing, if Axle ever needs a home you know who to call.

Dober

(by the way saw some good bruins this week)

Hey thats fantastic.way to go.

Yup!
Hunting buck antelope with a bow sure is unsporting!!! All you have to do is get within 30 or 40 yards, draw without being seen, heard or smelled, not falter under pressure, and manage to shoot through any vegetation between him and you.
Seriuosly, anybody that can kill an antelope with a stick and a string has invested lots of time in the sport, and has my respect.

Fred

Neat! I've never run across one with flaring prongs before. Certainly unique. 1Minute

anyway i can get the original file for the Cocky 'lope......would really like to have that pick

must be unsporting as hell when the wife and i "play cow" so we can walk to with in 150-200 yards of them to plink one with a high powered rifle

That's a beautiful goat! I'd be thrilled to take him. Congrats!!!!

Great pics. I didn't draw a tag this year. Congrats to you.

Would have liked to see the one that got away

This is one I missed on the opener.

Wooops

I still had a couple doe tags in my pocket and decide to pull my blind last weekend, but might as well hunt it one more time.

Got one doe and passed on another.

Though it wasn't the greatest shot, I watched her go down within eye sight.

Once again, just a doe, but pretty neat pronghorn activities.

This little guy was on the move early.


I have not seen many doe at my waterhole, but this gal came in with a couple fellas.


I hit her a little far back, but she wasn't going far. She didn't feel good, but the boys were ready to go.


The two bigger bucks were putting on a good fight and a couple subordinates watched the action with me.


Hey fellas, neither of you will be getting any.:D


Pretty powerful fight.


We have a winner.

After a while I was able to sneak out and get a 40 yard shot on the doe. Several times during the wait I thought she was done, but would eventually pick her head up. Not the perfect shot, but it worked out and she is in the frig. \[img]http://www.hunttalk.com/forums/gallery/files/5/2/7/p1050258__large.jpg[/img]

Interesting pics!

Horny [bleep]....grin

Awesome pictures, thanks for throwing them up.
