Hunter Mike antelope hunt 2017 (Pics Added)
Going out to Wyoming this week! Meet my decoy, his name is billy.
Season starts tuesday. Sunday is a driving day and Monday is a scouting day.
Hope to upload some pics during the week but we will see! Not sure if I will have any electricity.

Packing out meat and head
Valley I hunted in
This is the kind of sign you like to see at your waterhole
Different water hole
Long story short, I blew quite a few opportunities at this waterhole, got caught drawing, deflected arrows on sage brush and unfortunately wounded one antelope buck on thursday. My hunting partners helped keep me from going too far down in the dumps after wounding the buck and I made it back out in the blind on friday morning and finally connected! Our group got 2 antelope out of 3 guys. Was a tough hunt.
The plan was to wait the antelope out by sitting a waterhole. The waterhole I sat was a little over a mile from camp as the crow flies. The first day, the antelope were very skittish of the pop up blind so the next 3 days i spent laying on the ground in the sun in a small depression in the ground behind some sagebrush. I was finally able to come to full draw on an antelope buck without getting busted and made a killing shot on friday.

Have fun Mike and stay safe.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: Hunter Mike antelope hunt 2017
I'll be following this - I leave Sept 27. Hope you have a great trip and get the one you want.
I thought the decoy was a crude photoshop for a "I can't wait to go" kind of post. It looks great!
