The first few days we saw some smaller bucks, but I wanted to wait for the right one. On day seven, we finally spotted a shooter. We moved into position, but he only stepped out for a moment and disappeared before I could take a shot.

We didn’t give up. We worked around the mountain, watching and waiting until he stepped out again. This time I made the shot. After taking care of the buck, some buddies met us partway to help with the pack-out, which made the experience even better.

It became one of my most memorable hunts, passing good bucks, putting in the effort, and finally getting the one I really wanted.

It was opening morning and I had decided to sit by myself that day. The first two antelope that came in were a doe and a big buck. I tried to draw back while the buck was drinking, but the doe had me pinned. I got a shot off when he was a little farther, but he ducked my arrow.

I didn’t have anything else come in until the evening. The same buck I had missed that morning had come back. I watched him circle the trough for 20 minutes until he gave me a perfect shot. I took the shot and watched him as he ran 90 yards from the blind and die. The first thing I did after was text my dad and tell him I had got a buck.
