Wyoming Pronghorn.....(pix)

The following pix show the last few minutes of my antelope hunt last week in Wyoming. Steve and JJL were sitting above the waterhole watching the whole thing unfold. You can credit JJL with the pictures.

When the buck was approaching he was below my line of sight so I didn't know he was around until he crested the hill right above the water. Jim was snapping pictures as he came in.

At this point the buck is a mere 20yds in front of me.

At this point I'm likely at full draw finding a sweet spot to deliver the Goldtip.... laugh.gif

Here's what the Rocket tipped Goldtip found.

The action that took place when the arrow hit home was one of the wildest things I've ever seen either in person or on video.

The buck was standing at exactly 20yds quarting with his head down in the water. I put the arrow in between the inside of the shoulder and the neck. When it hit the buck launched himself a good 10ft into the waterhole. The flow of blood was fantastic. The water literally turned red as he made his way out. He then piled up after about 20yds.

I was fortunate to also harvest a fine looking doe earlier the same day.

All in all a great way to spend a week.
