Well, lady luck came my way this afternoon, and I managed to get a doe antelope in the bag. I sat in one of my blinds until about noon! I watched antelope most of the morning, including one herd of 20+ that crossed the fence about 200 yards away, twice. That convinced me that they weren't going to use the fence crossing that I was set up on, so I went into the spot-n-stalk/decoy mode. I decided to try to decoy the buck that was with the big herd that I had been watching all morning. When I got around to the draw that I was going to use to close the distanceon them, I spotted two doe that were between me and them, so I decided that I would try to stalk them, since there was no way around them without spooking them to get to the big herd. So I went around the hill above them to get to an old terrace that I could use to close the distance. I crawled along it and when I peeked over to see where they were, they were feeding in my direction, so I just layed low. They kept coming and finally, the closest one offered me a shot, and I put an arrow on the money. The stainless steel inner-loc blew clean through her, at about 47 or 48 yards. One thing about antelope spot-n-stalk,seeing them is easy, and getting close isn't real tough, but getting a shot off will drive a guy nuts sometimes!!

It was sprinkling during the stalk, and by the time I was done de-boneing her, it was raining. In the pic. you can see the rain storm that got me wet!! SO, I'll be cutting and grinding meat tomorrow, and it's back up the mountains next weekend to try for an elk, again!!
