AnTeLoPe HuNt!!!

Ryan has been putting me in for an antelope tag for the last 6 years.... and I finally drew the tag this year! We went scouting in July to find some bucks and found this one plus a few others. We headed down on Friday night (Sept. 11) to scout for a little bit to find a nice buck. Blake, Devan, Ryan and I went down and stayed overnight in Panguitch, we decided not to take the trailer for such a short trip. We found this buck again on Friday night, and about 25 other bucks. Ryan told me I could choose which one I wanted to shoot, so I picked this one first. Saturday morning we headed out early to the spot where this buck was at, and Blake spotted him in the dark! (Thanks Blake!) So, Ryan, Devan and I got out of the truck and started to get closer to him so I could get a shot before he got out of range. Blake stayed back at the truck with the spotting scope and a radio so he could tell us which way he was going. I could barely see the dang thing! It was barely 6:40 and it wasn't light yet. I shot him at 6:45 am at 362 yards away. It was an awesome hunt and I had a blast with the boys! Here's my buck......
Blake wants me to send this picture in with the story and try to win money and prizes......

You look so cute in your huntin gear! I would show Todd. . but then he would say, "Annie goes, you should come with me." You guys are a darling couple and that is so awesome that you have that hobby in common! Love it.
