I have to tell you ....I literaly could not believe it happened.  It was almost like a dream. It was an unbelievable feeling while I kneeled and admired him.  All the hard efforts put into this hunt by all 3 of us, all the close calls and not so close, up-hill and down-hill, wading and crawling, and for it to close like this in the last 30 minutes was just too much.  I just could not get over it ending like this.

Charlie and Vance's expressions on arrival, and getting the final news that WE had our antelope, showed that they were as pumped as I was....and I wanted pics with them as well cause I sure couldn't have done it without them...so here they are......

I'm going to share with you some of the scenes, views, and hideouts I experienced during the hunt....

Here's a neat hide out...wish I'd have gotten a pic of this little cabin from the outside...


     


That little green grassy area is where the buck was standing....only I was not in the cabin.

   

View out the front door....

Talk about your well deserved antelope! Terry did it all this past week. When you hunt that hard and that long it's extra sweet.

To take an antelope buck in this part of Wyoming without sitting over a waterhole (it can be pretty hit or miss around here) is not only difficult, it's damn near impossible... at least it is if you only have 5 days.

When it comes down to the last half hour of the last day you'd better be a pressure shooter. Terry is all that and a bag of chips.

To take one literally under the noses of "modern" equiptment shooters with stick and string makes it all that much sweeter.

I've been moving pretty slow since Terry left, but have most of my sleep caught up now. There is business to catch up on in town and with luck we'll have that taken care of and get up in elk country this afternoon.

I'll warn you right now, though. I'm gonna peel off for a few days and head south. There won't be any computer access where I'm going so I'll have to leave it all to Vance to keep you entertained.

If he drops the ball, I'll surely drag this thread back up from page 12 or wherever it ends up in my absence... I'm not done with you guys yet.   :readit:
