    Marissa's First Hunts

    Congrats guys
  6. It sure is nice having a TV to watch that hunts the way we do in Az. I have been watching for a while now and am impressed. Spot & Stalk is a great way to hunt but cannot image doing it with a camera man in your hip pocket. From coues, mulies and elk great show.

  8. Day 1 Decoyed a good buck and his 8 doe to 65 yards. The grass swaying back and fourth and being it was 3 feet tall my range finder was giving me all kind of yardages and I shot over his back. Day 2 Rain and more Rain managed to get within a 100 yards of buck but got busted trying to range him. Day 3 Glassed my best spot for bucks but nothing. I had found bucks here every time during scouting but thought I was in trouble cause I never had seen a doe. I think the bucks had moved looking for doe. Day 4 Had to be at home Day 5 Glassed herd early and moved in using washes and drainages to belly crawl within 140 yards. The herd decided to move a mile and then bed down. Again I belly crawled to 108 yards and the booger taking off on a two mile trot. I get back on them before dark and miss a shot. Day 6 Same herd had moved back 4 miles to same location as day 5. They move out and bed in wide open, no grass, no drainages nothing to use for a stalk. Finally they get up again and move towards some cover and bed down. I move in slow and have the buck and does at 90 yards only to have a doe get up start feeding and bust me. Day 7 Glass up a solo buck looking for doe and watch as he makes a 2 mile loop only stopping for a minute at a time. While watching him I glass up my buck bedded in the wide open by himself. I ease over there and my buck is gone. I hike back up top and see he has moved to another bed and is stalkable. I move in nock an arrow and am looking for my shot when the buck gets up and starts feeding. I watch for a hour until he beds again. He decided to bed in a little shallow saddle about 90 yards wide. I slip the boots off and move in. I am coming in slightly higher than the saddle inch by inch looking for the buck. I see the tops of his horns under a little cedar and range the top of the tree. 55 yards!!! I duck, draw my bow, walk two steps forward, rise up and hit him right through shoulder. Buck takes off with three legs and blood pumping makes it 91 yards and falls. I just got my first antelope spot&stalk. I quarter the buck snap a few bad solo pics and start the mile+ hike back to truck. Having not eating in 5 hours, the heat, and the water mix and I start puking shortly before reaching the truck. Its complete!! I had a blast, lost some weight, got some thorns in my feet and sun burn. Ready to hang the bow up and enjoy some rifle hunts which I haven't done for myself in 9 years.

    Whats the Worst Archery Antelope Hunt?

    Hunts over for me. Put on a lot of miles and a lot of hours behind the glass. Made a stalk everyday I hunted and twice on a couple days. Decoyed one group in only to miss a good buck due to grass and trouble with correct yardage from finder. Spot and stalk was way more productive. There was water all over the unit and a LOT of coyotes. The few people I talked with were friendly. Got some good info from guys on CWT. Harvested a 66" buck yesterday with a 55 yard shot after he bedding down. I learned getting to within a 150 yards is fairly easy and pretty tough getting within a 100 yards. These things would bed for up to an hour and then pop up again. I was solo and didn't get great pics but will post up later.

    2A - trophy unit?

    I was out in 3B North on Friday and lost count about a dozen coyotes. I was looking at some good looking stuff and seen way more coyotes than antelope. Think I will take the rifle this weekend

    If I can kill a buck with a bow in 3b N, anyone can. Just don't get shot by a meth head first Boy I hope that's true I ain't no trophy hunter though I have covered a lot of country trying to find as many bucks as possible and I am only up to four different bucks
