Ne Antelope
Hi Jim
You make a decision on which Magilla yet? They were all nice.
It was a good hunt , the kind you remember. Had hunted this buck for a week and a half on and off as well as two other shooters. Saw lots of dinks as well. I had to catch him on ground that I had permission to hunt on. Had him at long range another day but range finder didn't like the light or something and would not read so I could not take the shot. Went looking for him. Drove down a road and found him on the wrong side of the road but wanting to cross. Drove around the section line and onto the ground I could hunt. Hid the truck below a hill and in some trees and took off running to where I thought he wanted to go to. Went about 400 yds to a growed up fence corner and started to catching my breath. I guess I just beat him there because he showed up in about 5 min. heading for a bunch of antelope about 500 yds from me. I saw him come over a small rise about 140 yds trotting quarting away. I poked the Knight thru the fence resting it on a corner cross brace and shot him quarting away at 160 yds. I ranged him after he was on the ground . Did not have time to before the shot. Bullet ranged forward and ruined the lungs. Good clean kill, kind of a messy field dressing job with the quartering away angle. Bullet worked and did a good job but the entry hole was way larger than I would have expected. Must have opened on impact but still had enough stuff to tear up the lights. Sevear angle probably accounts for the premature opening.
Have you had an opportuity to loose an arrow yet. Lookin forward to Magilla pics. Good huntin
