Default First antelope success

Well this hunt happend over three months ago sorry for the long delay just had an extremley busy fall.
Anyway we hunted the far north west corner of SD harding county during second season. We drove a half mile into our zone and saw 3 antelope in a pasture. We went to the ranch and asked for permission after a request to shoot all of them we set out on our stalk.
We were able to get the buck the first day within 45 min of enteringg our hunting zone and then we got the doe and fawn the next day.
We got one more fawn on public land.
i had shots at two more buck but wind played a factor on one and just shooter error on the other both clean misses.
All in all this was the best hunt of my life I have never hunted any western big game and it was awesome. it was also my first rifel hunt as I bowhunt mainly and muzzleloader the rest of the time. i am now hooked on the rifle and am now getting into reloading and long range shooting.
thanks for looking.
