Well done. The pic of Father and Son hugging is the best of the bunch! This is how a hunting story should be told. Bravo!

Awesome Story and Pics! Thank you for sharing!! What camera where you using, the pics came out great!

Fantastic photos to tell the story. What camera were you using?

Thanks! I brought my Fuji x100v on this trip to keep bulk and weight down due to flying. It's a great camera for keeping on you to document whatever is going on.

Awesome story and photos! You definitely can tell a good story, get to writing these for the magazines or start a podcast! Sounds like an you had an amazing trip with friends. I loved the father and son photo. That’s what hunting is truly about! Congrats

Thanks for sharing. Really cool to read and visualize everything with these great photos. That Fuji x100v is impressive.....how long have you been shooting with that?

Excellent post! Well done. I would certainly encourage you to shop your elk article around based on the high quality of writing in this post.

I've had the x100v for about a year and a half but I've been pursuing photography as a hobby for about 20 years.

Reads like a fun antelope hunt.

For the newbies - this is what antelope hunting is like, if you are in a high traffic unit, there will be people everywhere.

You might make inquiry with somebody more in the know about antelope skulls. I shot one 20 years ago and the horns came off within a year, and the euro mount was a no go. They are not like deer or elk antlers. There must be a trick to properly preserving them.

Great way to make the hunt a great adventure. Congrats.

I've done a few euro mounts of pronghorn already. The trick is once you get the horn sheaths off you need to pack the sheaths with borax or salt to get them dried out, remove the fleshy bits from the horn bones and then use epoxy or something to seal up the inside of the sheaths. I packed them with bondo and then stuck plastic over the bones, mounted the sheaths then let it cure so that I could take the sheaths off of the bone.

Glad you’re more educated than me on the subject. I was severely disappointed when mine fell apart. Again, great story.
