Is hunting season here yet??
Wow! It’s been a lifetime since my last post. I tell you what I get pretty busy when April rolls around it’s calving season here on the prairie and it’s pretty hectic for the next 60 days, but my summers are usually slow. This Summer we have had tons of rain, record setting rain. I spent all summer fixing fences that have washed out over the summer. The next time I turned around I was checking my draw status on Black Hills Elk, (unsuccessful) and applying for Deer and Antelope. I have 3 tags drawn with a late season muzzleloader left to check. The vegitation here is unbelievable due to the extra rain, and the horns on some of these antelope are pretty good. I’ve got 3 nice antelope spotted already that are worth talking about one is named Lean’n Tree, because his right horn leans way right while his left goes straight up. The 2nd is dagger, this antelope’s horns lean forward going out of his head and don’t curve at all, his prongs make his bases look like a knife handle that’s why I named him dagger. The 3rd one I saw today he has some major prongs on him and really thick bases, so I named him stickers. Needless to say I’m pretty jazzed up after a summer of hard work I’m ready for cold weather. Meanwhile the coyote pups are getting adventureous and I’m hoping to get some on film soon. Not to mention trying to have a Video Coyote hunt sometime in October. I hope you have all drawn well and I promise to post more often.
