2022 Eastmans' Antelope Success Thread / Journal Submission

[BrandonM]

After seeing Ikeepitcolds great buck, I feel like a slacker for not holding out . No not really!
I drew a tag unexpectedly in a unit I'd never been to and thought I might not have an opportunity to go, due to trying to put a shop and a house in, plus needing to pull honey and medicate my 200 colonies of bees and keep up with my regular job too. I drew MT and CO deer tags, but they are for November and were somewhat expected, so they hopefully will fit better with this years crazy schedule.

Anyway back to NV. I was able to make a quick, but fun trip and punch my tag on a nice little buck. Even though I only had a couple days to hunt, I saw some cool country and learned a lot about the area while coming home with some good eats!
Thanks to the guys from here that gave me a place to start, it was really helpful with only having a few days for the trip. This is my second antelope tag in NV and both have been a great bonus! I put in mainly for deer, elk and desert sheep, but always throw a few choices in for all the other species available too! Makes for a fun surprise to add a quick trip to the schedule and see some new country!

My Daughter got her first lope this last Tuesday. Her and I where stocking down a draw after a group that had two bucks fighting when my Daughter says Dad there is a lope behind us, WHAT, i turn around to see a buck running at us from 300yds or so. I told her get ready it runs into 180yds and stops looking straight as us . I told her to put the cross hairs right where we've been practicing and discussing . Well she made a great shot it took one step and that's all she wrote. So proud of her, see's had three big game tags and three punched tags.

Congrats sleepingbear and daughter! Antelope hunting with family is so fun!
