I'm with you Charlie, I am ready for the antelope but have a Mule Deer tag as well this year. I love the 15th opener for the Antelope but am heading out the last week of August for antelope and staying two weeks for the first week of the Mule Deer. Look forward to it all but the antelope are a blast.
Mickey got it right when he mentioned the smell of sage, there is nothing like a cup of fresh brewed coffee an hour before daylight with the stars so bright and clear like you could reach out and touch them, the smell of the sage on the morning air and the snorting of a distant antelope buck to stir the blood.
