JACK Report post Posted September 14, 2010 1975 was the last year my Dad drew an AZ rifle antelope tag...needless to say he was pretty excited when he found out he had finally drawn one! We spent most of the summer weekends scouting...looked at a bunch of bucks...after much discussion of how big, how long, how heavy, all that blah blah blah...he decided he liked the way this buck looked and liked him the best...Opening morning we were headed to where this buck hung out all summer. We didn't even make it to our glassing spot and had him located...I kinda laughed and told him if that is the buck you want there he is...it was barely light enough to see...The buck feed over a little ridge "Let's go" he said and the stalk was on...we got with in 350 yards and he had joined up with another buck and they fed around our way...at 250 yards they knew something was up but the sun was just coming up and they were looking right into it...they were doing that head up, neck stretched out, curiosity walk...but it was too late...we were already set up...BOOM...and he dropped in his tracks...broke his back, one follow up shot and 35 years of waiting was over in 35 minutes...Gotta love it when a plan comes together!
