I'm Very Fortunate & Blessed. I had Practiced quite a bit with Iron Sights on my 200 Yard Antelope Swinger Target. After Several Unsuccessful Attempts of Stalking behind my Big Red Cow Decoy in 85* Heat & High Winds I was Finally able to connect on a Decent Colorado Antelope Buck🥩at 211 Yards. This Buck had an Incredible (34) Does with him on Saturday. I'm Not sure what the Count was down to when I shot him on Monday but when he went down (3) Bucks Immediately Charged in to become the "New King of the Harem."
