I have been hunting for the last 3 weeks for that perfect antelope. Never did find him. So with just 7 days left of the Montana antelope season It was either put the smack down on this buck or eat my tag. So I let him have It.
I didnt even get out of the house today until 10:30 am. I decided to take my daughter for a litte ride and low and behold we found a herd an antelope. The herd had 2 bucks and 16 does. The other buck in the herd was a little taller than the one I killed, but it had zero prongs. Looked almost like a unicorn. I preferred the smaller more typical looking goat.
We spotted them from about 3/4 of a mile away. We stalked via walking, crawling and then belly crawling to within 325 yards of the herd. With a perfect rest over my fanny pack and a little bit of luck from my daughter I dropped this buck right in his tracks. I was shooting my trusty ruger 7mm Rem Mag. with a 154 grain bullet. My daughter was so excited and I was also.
FYI, 2 weeks ago I killed my antelope doe with my .204 ruger and dropped her in her tracks. I was shooting a 40 grain v-max on her. Unfortunately I dont have pictures of her. The shot was 150 yards. I dont usually hunt big game with that small of a caliber rifle but I was dying to see what that little rifle would do to an antelope.
Here are a couple of pictures from the hunt today.
Enjoy the pictures.
