Hey guys!
I am honored to have my hunt article posted by Rokslide. I hope y’all enjoy the article and are able to experience what we did as you are reading it. It is probably the most fun I have had on a hunting trip yet. I appreciate the support, thanks for reading!

This was the Best hunt we could have imagined! The best part was the time spent with my son! I’m so proud of the research and thought that he put into this for us to enjoy.. I can’t wait to go again!

Hey Noah! Keep it up. I work in a building full of engineers, most hate hunting. The field guys hunt & fish.

Congrats! Great story. I felt like I was there with you. Curious... was your unit difficult to get a tag for? How long did you wait before being drawn for a tag? Also.. how did the antelope taste?

Unit was not difficult to draw for. I was able to draw a tag with 1 preference point. I just researched units that were at or near 100% draw odds with 1 point and I bought a point the year before we went hunting and just prayed that they didn’t change point requirements before the draw the next year. As far as taste, it is some of the best meat I have ever had. Way better than whitetail and I would say just as good as elk. I have only had elk that I ordered in a restaurant so it’s not a fair comparison.
