Uh huh!  That's what I'm talkin' about!

More antelope were headed our way, so I jumped back in the blind quick. Maybe my buddy can shoot his buck, or one of us may have a chance at a doe.

I knew my buck was down, as my buddy seen him fall out of his shooting window. It's fairly cool, my buck can wait a few minutes.

[razorsharptokill]

You're killing me with the suspense!

[Shedrock]

 
 
 

This buck comes right in, but closer to my blind. The shot for my bud is a perfect quartering away shot, but just a little far for him. Only about 14 yards for me though. But, I had a buck down already. I'll just take some pics.

[razorsharptokill]

Great pics!!!

Do they not see you in the blind? It doesn't appear to have a mesh in the window?

[Shedrock]

More and more antelope come in during the next half hour. My buddy gets no good shots.

More antelope want to come, but see my buck laying on his side, and won't come in to drink.

It is time to get that buck out of here and back home.

Well done to both of you

No mesh needed. I try to just wear dark colors and keep my white face away from the window, and also move slow.

In Wy. is antelope a draw only for non residents? I'd really like to try that next year.

Those blinds are top notch! I wonder if something like that would work for muledeer at a waterhole they frequent?

Here's Shedrock's build along. It is awesome! I plan on building some for whitetails in smaller food plots where there are no trees. What a couple of great hunts with Hope and Faith!

[Shedrock]

There he lays.

He must have died at a full run and slid to a stop. VPA did good.

You can see the blinds in the backround.

Yes, draw only for non-res as well as residents. There are a few areas that have left-over tags, but the areas are mostly private land. You would have to pay a tresspass fee more than likely.

I rarely have mule deer come to drink. They usually come at night. I have only had a fews does, fawns, and a couple forkhorns come in to drink in 20 years of waterhole hunting.

Way to go Tracy    But I know there's more  

[Mike Yancey]

Good shootin Tracy lookin good!

[Longbowlogan]

Sweet hunt, to bad your buddy didn't get a shot at one of them. Congrats!

[razorsharptokill]

Looks like the cause of the crash landing was a massive hydraulic leak!

How tough is it to draw a tag?

[Shedrock]

Good double lung shot.

It depends on the area. The area I hunt has alot of public ground and takes a non-resident 3-4 pref points.
