Headed back home to Routt County, Colorado for my second antelope hunt of the season. This was the first Colorado goat tag I've drawn and I was pretty excited to head home and hunt the high sage country with a couple of childhood friends. I've already had a good season on New Mexico's heavy-horned speedgoats and after NW Colorado's severe drought, had pretty low expectations for this hunt. I was pleased to learn that the rut was in full swing and had a short, yet successful hunt watching bucks chasing hot does all over the damned place. We looked over a few herds and passed a couple of good bucks before I glassed up this buck chasing his ladies. The stalk was on. After chasing him in circles he finally ran a doe in the right direction and I put him down at 248 yards. Spent the rest of the day glassing muleys and located a couple of absolute giants. We capped it all off with a couple of cold ones in a tack shed filled with decades worth of giant muley racks. One hell of a day to kill the absolute biggest bodied buck I've ever seen.
