[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 5216897, member: 10019"] Now, I got stupid lucky. We had seen this antelope the day before around the “killing grounds”. We both tried to make a play on him. Believe it or not a random ranch house was tucked in the creek bottom behind them when I had a shot, then as I tried to flank them they bolted. Next shot was toward the road, damn ethics, then they made their way toward big Johnson but he couldn’t get a shot either. He was tall and just stood out compared to the others. Next morning he presented a random opportunity after I had a made a stalk on the lead group he was trailing. I couldn’t get a shot at the first group because of distant cattle and the sun blinding me. Pure luck he trotted to my North, 280-300 yard bang flop. Admittedly, I thought I missed as he flopped into the tall sage. I didn’t see him run off but then again the group he was with ran into the sun as well. I waded through the prairie swamp and seen him, he was bigger than I thought.
