MThuntrMT Antelope Pics
Well after fighting with not 1, not 2, but 6 poachers on the property me and my buddy were hunting, we actually managed to get some hunting done. After the opening day fiasco, we sat on a small reservoir and we spotted 2 bucks and a doe feeding towards us. We split up and I hid behind a small sagebrush plant (somehow it hid me *see background*) and the doe practically stepped on me as I waited for a clear shot of the biggest of the two bucks. He measures 14.25 inches from base to tip. According to MT FWP it is a good buck for the 480 unit and is considered a trophy by FWP regulations. I am having him European mounted for my office. I shot him with my Savage 110E chambered in 7mmRemMag (160grain Accubonds) topped with a Burris 4.5x14 Fulfield II. (By the way I didn't realize how much of a tool I looked like in the pic until I saw it.)

So what became of the poachers? Did they shoot anything?

FjoldLOL! nice 'lope.
I can see how you fooled him, since you look like you would just disappear behind that sagebrush.
