no, i wish, we took the cameras but when it came down to it we scattered and i stalked him alone.heres the story.
We got out there tuesday at about 3or 4 oclock, talked to the landowner then set up camp. There was still plenty of daylight left so we decided to look at the property. So we jumped in the truck. We had barely left camp and came over the ridge beside camp and saw agroup of about 4. So we decided I would stay there and Jon and Jeremy would take the truck back out to the road and go around and sneak down a shallow drainage toward them. I tried to get closer but saw another group across the bowl. I thought it was the same ones, but when I tried to get closer I saw the closer ones headed away from me to join the others. The bigger buck took the does from the smaller one. i decided although it was a long way across the bowl I would try it. So i made my way toward them using cactus' as cover. The antelope seemed to be circling back a little. i got as close as I could and luckily the buck turned his does back toward where the came from. The does crossed at 60 yards but with the buck coming I waited even though they where headed down wind and i was worried about my scent. But they didnt spook and ol' bucky was on they same path. When he got broadside I ranged him at 61 yards. Drew and meowed at him to stop him, he stopped quartering toward me and I stuck him in front of the shoulder angling straight down his body. He bolted off about 300 yards i lose sight of him decide to give him 30 min. When i went after him the rancher showed up on his four wheeler andthe buck stood up and went alittle ways and bedded down. The rancher went to tell Jon & Jeremy i shot one. The buck got up and walked a short distance acouple more times while I tried to close the distance to finish him. I was getting close and my shoes were noisy so i took them off. When i was about 30 yards from him bedded J&J sdrove up to about 70 yards of us in the truck and the farmer pulled in from the other side. I sgot to within 20 yards and shot him again he went about 80 mor yards and fell over. When we walked up on him all we could see of my first arrow was the nocks sticking out of his neck. I dont know how he went that far stuck like that.
