My brother and I haven't hunted together for a couple years but we still hunt well together apparently. We both drew antelope tag for the same area this year(just doe tags)and we hunted together today. Long story short, we both ended up harvesting antelope about thirty seconds apart. We both made double lung shots with mine also taking a piece of heart at decent range. We were on public land with lots of people but we stuck to our plan and it worked well for us.

We were only about 10 miles from my house and had them both skinned, quartered, and in the freezer within about an hour and 15 minutes of them hitting the ground. It was pushing 65 degrees here today and we wanted to get them cool as quick as possible.

Anyways, the reason for this post is not really to brag or anything (in fact I didn't even take any pictures) but just say how nice it is to hunt with someone you've spent a lot of time with and trust. Even when dressing, skinning and prepping the meat, we just know what the other is going to do.

Hopefully, we'll be able to do as well when elk and deer season rolls around.

I would agree. I hunted goats with a friend on the opener and she was a first time hunter. We both tagged out and were driving away 1 1/2 hours later. I told her to wait until elk season

Seems to be a common downside to antelope hunting. Never lasts very long. We were done this year in about two hours...start to finish.

Congratulations on your hunt.

Yeah, we prolonged it a little bit by watching some mule deer for about an hour and then we passed on a group of antelope because there was a decent buck in it. We knew there was a kid with a buck permit going after his first big game a couple miles away so we went and got him and the guy he was hunting with. Decent day.

It is nice to hunt with someone who you know you can count on and has view of hunting you do. My hunting buddy and I have been hunting and fishing together for 13 years. It gets better every year.

Yeah it seems like it's getting harder and harder to find folks who have the same views as me. I was spoiled because my family had 17 sections that we used to hunt. I've been hunting public land for about the last ten years and I still am having a tough time getting used towhat some folks do when they're "hunting." That's why I skipped the antelope opener and will skip the general deer/elk opener this Sunday like I have for the last six or seven years.

Congrats gotta like the quick ones once in awhile.
