idgaf Report post Posted Saturday at 03:15 AM My daughter stopped hunting 10 or so years ago. She couldn't get a tag and stopped trying. Fast forward to last year. I told her I was going to start putting her in so her son could pull a decent tag when he turns 10. Last year with no points she got late unit 1. This year she got antelope. I was stoked antelope are my favorite. I live in 3c and have seen maybe 4 antelope ever. See other post. I started Scouting immediately. I checked all of the g&f areas and saw only a couple of mid bucks. Kept checking and found a couple of spots. Last weekend the OHVs wrecked one of my spots. I wish they would stay on the trails. I decided to concentrate Scouting on one spot. G&f was doing a helicopter survey and those bucks disappeared as well. Sitting and thinking "you know antelope as good as they know themselves, where would they go" last night i saw a couple off in a basin to the far east and decided to take a closer look. About 200 yards from where I parked i ran into the buck I named the pimp. My first thought was that tricky m'fer. They spooked a little and I got out of there early. This morning rolls around and my brother took the morning off to high point for us. We go into the mountains looking for the giant. My brother sees a herd half a mile or so from our starting point in the wrong direction. After checking the small steep area we were in. I get a call saying there are 6 bucks in the herd he is watching and one is huge. We go to his vantage point and take a quick look. I recognize the pimp immediately. We make a quick plan and head that way. They were all bedded for a bit. As we approached the rut kicked in and bucks chasing does everywhere. The pimp chases a smaller buck over the Ridgeline. We move closer. My only pic of the pimp with the chaos the pimp was anywhere from 300 yards to over 500 and out of sight. She has them at 442 in the tripod and ready. I dial the scope and she shoots. Each round hitting just over his back. I guess the angle was steeper than I thought. My brother has to leave to work (around 900) we go to where i think they went. Not expecting much. I see a bunch of tracks change direction slightly and catch what I thought was the pimp at 135 yards. I left the scoope at 450. 20250905_085200.mp4 I make the adjustment back to default and this happens. Doesn't look it but the shot was close to perfect VID_20250905_192846.mp4 One more shot and then it gets western. 20250905_085407.mp4 Thinking hes down for good I give her a hug. She starts going over there and the buck gets up and struggles up the hill. We bump him two more times before the top of the hill with no shot opportunities. I text my brother and a nephew to help track. My daughter is mad and the only person she can take it on is me. I say he went this way and she said he went that way. We split up. I catch up to him 150 yards from where we part ways. I call her and text. No answer. She's really mad. A few moments later she calls me. We catch up to him walking away. I tell her just put it between his buttcheeks and end this. Boom and he drops. After a few seconds gets back up and starts crawling on front two legs up the next hill. F bombs are flying out of her mouth. The last one was F that tripod crap. Grabs her rifle and runs to position. Off handed she puts the final round in his neck. We didn't get the giant one but this one isn't too bad. 12 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pre-ww2 270 model 70 with a Leopold vx3 4x14. Hornady 140 grain. I think with the small stature of antelope the bullets did not expand as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
