Dakota Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I absolutely love looking at pronghorn pics and mounts and can safely say that I am a pronghorn addict (see camospace link in signature ). Let's see some pics of your antelope or antelope mount (s)! 2007 First antelope, a nice big doe shot in northwestern South Dakota. Dad's first antelope and big game animal. 2008 First double on big game: yearling buck and doe shot 20 minutes into shooting light on South Dakota rifle opening morning. Another pic of the buck, my first antelope buck and biggest yet with rifle. 2009 First big game bow kill and largest buck to date shot in Unit 23 in Wyoming at 34 yards. Second big game bow kill shot at 29 yards the next morning on a successful spot and stalk in a Gillette rock quarry. I felt so priviledged to have Steve B. along on the stalk and witness the entire ordeal especially after guiding me to my first elk in 2006. The entrance hole was a little far back but smoked her hard, she only ran about 100 yards. This weekend is the start of the second SD rifle antelope season and I'll be heading west to Belle Fourche, about 100 miles east of Gillette, for what has become an anual tradition. Between Dad and I we have 6 tags, two any antelope and four doe/fawn tags, and an almost full freezer right now! I'm just planning on shooting does and guiding Dad to his first buck unless I can get within rifle range of a buck bigger than the one I shot out in Wyoming last month. Hunting public land with other hunters around during the second rifle season is going to be pretty rough and it sounds like the weather is going to be cold but that's just antelope hunting and I wouldn't have it any other way! So let's see all your goat pics! Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 if he doesnt i know a spot or two Ditto. SD is one of the easiest states to draw a tag and it's affordable too. I think a non-res triple antelope tag (double in some units depending on whether the any antelope tag comes with one or two doe/fawn tags) only costs $285. It cost us close to $330-$340 to buy our non-res WY any antelope tag, doe tag, archery license and conservation stamp. Public land is everywhere, tags are real easy to draw and the hunting is great bow and rifle hunting. I'd check into it if I were you.

Dakota Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Actually, I just checked the app on the SD GF&P website and the price for the double and triple antelope tags is actually $245 instead of $285. I think double and triple non-res doe/fawn tags are only like $85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetailtrax Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Here are a couple that my son Tanner has killed in the Sweetgrass Hills of northcentral Montana. First pic below is from 2007 and the second is from 2006. Both bucks killed within a 1/4 mile of each other. I am loading up the boys and heading back to this spot 10 days from now. It will be Austyn's first big game hunt (as a hunter). We each have a buck tag. Cannot wait!!!!!!!!!! Will check back in when were done.
