Had a good antelope hunt this year in eastern Colorado. We took a doe and buck each. We worked hard over the summer to get access to some private land, but trespassers and road hunters were everywhere. Had one moron shoot a doe from the road and send a bullet spinning past our camper while I was in it. He ended up talking to the sherriff. Great example for his son who watched the whole debacle.



This old buck with a broken cutter was a bonus as he came cruising by as I was in the middle of a stalk on another buck.



My pal Ben made an unbelievable stalk on this buck. He crawled through 6 inches of cover for over two hours to get within range of this buck that was bedded with about 35 other antelope in a plowed field. That's why we call him the "Prairie Ninja"!



Ben and I both belly crawled for about a 1/2 mile and took two does seconds apart in another freshly planted wheat field. You can just see my doe in the background. Both shots were around 150 yards.

I don't shoot elk at 600 yards for the same reasons I don't shoot ducks on the water, or turkeys from their roosts. If this confuses you then you're not welcome in my hunting camp.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
