Antelope Hunting

This was Ry's first antelope tag. After road hunting for several days and hundreds of miles we jumped out of the truck, ran like crazy over several ridges (me running like crazy about 100 yards behind cuz I'm old and slow), and tried to quietly stalk this bad boy. Ryan made an excellent shot--over 500 yards! Danny's one of the best marksmen I've ever seen, and Ry is a chip off the old block. He was so excited when he realized he'd hit his target. So was I. Especially since we'd both been suffering an epidemic sized case of buck fever for a couple of days. The ails of being stuck in a truck for hours on end. Talk about a good time, though. Ry's antelope was just a little over 14; pretty good for a first timer. We had so much fun together, laughing, reminiscing and eating tons of junkfood. I love my boys!
