Just got home from my first archery Pronghorn Antelope hunt.
Spent 5 days bowhunting in Wyoming. Man what a blast!! We hunted from blinds on water holes.....the countryside there is WIDE open and a spot and stalk with a bow is pretty much impossible. However the only water ANYWHERE is being pumped out of deep wells to keep cattle watered. My water hole had about 140 head of cattle pastured around it and they made it impossible for me to hunt from my pop up blind....they collapsed it on top of me three times before I gave up and built a makeshift blind inside the fence the landowner set up to protect the solar panel that runs the well pump.
Anyway...successful hunt....my first antelope. He's a few inches shy of pope and young but I couldn't be happier.

Nice and some serious goog eats to boot.

photos too. Nice respectable head and looks healthy. Hunted up near Thermopolis on a reservation one year and took a nice mulie doe for the
good eating. Had a deaf guide and his nephew help an older gentleman and a younger gentleman and myself do a week hunt and it was a very
successful hunt. Until then I had never had prairie goat stew and cornbread...........scrumptious to say the least. The guide discovered he had inherited
a small fortune in Germany from family and he quit guiding. The only guided hunt I've ever had. Memories beyond imagination. You did good and
congrats.

My shot was 10 yards......I shoot a Hoyt Vectrix...2007 model and the broadhead is a slick trick. Antelope is good eating...taste is comparable to deer. It is VERY important to get the animal skinned out and cooling as fast as possible. I butcher all my own game and I'm very picky about fat, silverskin, bone material or any other contaminant that might affect flavor.Originally Posted by LittleJohn

Nice pics & looks like a great hunt. I've always wanted to go out west & hunt but no water or trees
The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
