Antelope fun

[Rowdy Rick]

Great picture Don! That is always a great experience. Hunters generally have more interaction with wildlife than most people, and the taxes (Pittman Robertson) paid by hunters provide the most financial contributions to wildlife of any groups including the anti hunters. A good tidbit to know is that the U.S. and Africa are the only two countries where wildlife has increased due to hunting management in the last 100 years. Enough from the soap box I was a wildlife photographer for quite a spell and the skills of making blinds and stalking are the same as hunting. Old Leonard Le Rue was a hunter before he turned wildlife photographer, probably had more pictures published than anyone I know.

Let us know how you come out, and hope you get one with that 44-40. I hunted antelope back in the late 70's down south of Rawlins and a little west, just before that bad winter hit and they reduced licenses down there. Some BLM land and had a good time. Got a small buck and that was my first and last. On my bucket list to get one with a Sharps someday. That meat was so tender you could cut it with a fork.
