Frustration gets over-run by excitement!!
Last night while sitting at my computer I was sent emails, they came from the GF&P of South Dakota. They stated that I was unsuccessful in my attempts to get a Bull Elk from the Black Hills this year. As Frustrating as this is, I can’t begin to imagine the frustration of my friend that has 18 years of preference in Custer State Park, and was sent the same email that I was sent. I actually got over mine pretty quick, as you can see in the picture above, that is a Boone & Crockett Antelope I killed in 2006. It is the only animal I’ve ever shot that was worthy of a shoulder mount. Today I saw an Antelope just as spectacular that is rare this early in the season but there he was plain as day. If any of you recall the blogs from the Antelope above (I’d give you a link but this damn thing still isn’t working right) you know it took me 3 years to finally kill that goat and this one could be just as hard. In fact I might work to get Chief or Courtney a shot at him so they have something to hang on their walls as well. I’m plum excited for Antelope season now, and it’s only June 2nd.
Somewhere it says the Good Lord Giveth and the Good Lord Taketh Away. I had my dreams of a Black Hills Bull shot down last night but they were replaced with the shot at a record antelope this fall.
Who else can’t wait for hunting season???

As you can tell I still don’t have this figured out
