Antelope fun

[Don McDowell]

Yesterday was first day of the season. I have pretty much decided to take my antelope with the 44-40, altho I do reserve the right to change my mind
Anyway made a couple of pretty good stalks on a couple of nice bucks, but just couldn't get that last 50 yards or so I wanted to be able to be sure to make the shot.
As it was getting pretty dark to shoot with open sights I was headed back to the house on the 4wheeler, and there were two bucks standing right in the trail about 75 yds off. I stopped and they walked over the ridge to the right, as I was sort of grinning and cussing at the same time, I looked and here came the little kid back over the ridge. He was curious and stopped and looked I just sat there and he came closer and closer and closer, and I'm thinking I could if I were desperate pop him with the 45 colt pistol. But I'm not that desperate yet, anyway he came close. I took the phone and tried a picture, he didn't mind so I took another, almost like he's posing. I ranged him at 22 yds, he turned broadside and posed and I got the last picture.
Love messing with the buggers.
