How Fast can an Antelope Move???

[FerretWYO]

I would say pretty fast. Take a look at these screen shots of a doe taken by our very own Scott Teaschner. I find this to be very interesting and a great tool of learning.

My appolagies for the quality reduction. As you read in the story i did not want to risk any more movments. So this is cell phone video into the sun.


This is just before the sound of the bow.
   

This is her just as the arrow enters the screen. I know it is hard to see but it is bright orange.
   

One more frame we see the arrow nearing its mark. Though it looks to be low.
   

She crouched right into it and picked up that arrow. This is he first jump notice the blood and broadhead having exited about 8 inches or so.

   

These are much more clear on my ipad I wish i could save that quality.

Here is a video i annotated i hope you can see it better

Oh that worked much better than what we were doing last night. How did you re do it?

[FerretWYO]

You gotta love Ubersense.

[Rob W.]

That is cool and way fast! I would love to get a hunt on video. It is so hard alone on the ground though. Maybe that will be a goal for this year.

Pretty neat randy except I thought this was an equipment thread lol J/K      

Seems you have to aim low on those critters like texas deer?

[Scott Teaschner]

Boy I really don't remember seeing her move till the arrow hit. I just remember seeing the bright fletching disappear right were it needed to be. Wow very cool. I gave her a few before I released because I knew she was a little tense.

That’s awesome; Thanks for sharing I just came in from shooting and by the looks of it those Pronghorn are way too fast for my arrows

Amazing! How far did she go?

[Scott Teaschner]

Another thing I was thinking. That arrow should have looked low I think . It was still climbing at that point. at 10 yards my arrow rises 10" above point on at 20 yards it rises to 16" above point on. So I cant tell the distance it traveled in the screen but I think it should have still bee on incline in that yardage where we first see the arrow. Between 18 and 22 yards it should have stayed around the 16" above point on.

[Scott Teaschner]

She was dead before we could get out of the blind and she went about 50 to 60 yards.

So what we are seeing here is that Scott should have missed...      :D

[FerretWYO]

I see the flaw of my title Charlie. Fixed :-)

[Scott Teaschner]

No Gregg I anticipated that and allowed for the reaction of the animal do to circumstances! I would have missed other wise! LOL

[Gatekeeper]

Pretty cool series of pictures, thanks for sharing.

[Roadkill]

They are just great animals, and you captured it.  Nicely done

[Hud]

Good video man they have incredible reaction time. Probably heard the bow, and maybe saw the pink feathers.

[Guru]

Very cool!  I bet a lot of us would see and realize more if this movement if we got more shots on video.
I know I've hit wt. does on the opposite side that I shot at. Shot at turkeys with their wings down strutting and they get them up and open before the arrow gets there and find no holes In  the wings.  Even had a lucky one pull a ninja move and bat my arrow up and over him as he raised his wings reacting to the shot!
And of course there' those wacky TX deer that we've shot at their knees and hit them anywhere from perfect to spine shots...incredible reactions wild critters have!!

When I first saw this video on the other thread I said to my GF "Wow there is a reason they call them speed goats!"

[Sixby]

I don't know how fast they can run but I have had them stay even with my truck at 60 mph for quite a distance.
God bless, Steve
