Another antelope - MachV - 09-19-2023 Daughter filled her first big game tag with an antelope. With a few good choices to use she chose the 20" Anderson lowered, Gemtec suppressed AR toped with a cheap firefield 1-6 lpvo shhoting 123eld and arcomp. The yardage was 325 and needed a finish shot (poor trigger yank on the first round) Great trip though as the critter count was higher than expected. We saw plenty of bucks a few does and VERY few fawns(next year aint gonna be any better for #) We did however see 5 coyotes(@500+ & MOVING ), a couple of bobcats, a herd of elk and 14 full curl Rocky Mountain sheep. A couple of prairie dogs here and there but not enoigh to warrent shooting. I've still got an antelope tag but no hurry on filling and probably will eat it if a freak or booner is not found. Another antelope - sundowner - 09-19-2023 Congrats on the antelope . Another antelope - biodsl - 09-20-2023 Congratulations. Where are you located? Another antelope - MachV - 09-20-2023 Wyoming. This guy was bigger than most and only went 68 3/8. Just like I figured the numbers are way down, the bucks smaller horned and very few fawns. The daughter had a great time anyway as there is always plenty to see and do Another antelope - LRRPF52 - 09-20-2023 Congrats! Just saw a herd of antelope on a family drive a few hours ago. We’ve had so much rain this summer, it was more like coastal Washington. Best summer I’ve ever seen in Utah. Areas of the West Desert turned really green in valleys that are typically tumble weeds and sage brush, nothing more. Another antelope - MachV - 09-21-2023 We had above average rainfall here too and timed right to keep it greener than most years. The problem was -40* when they where setting horn last December and more snow than they can live with in a few spots. This guy was fat!
