Lots of great pictures keep them coming. You must go through the tiers is short order. I have been on s few roads like that and they were not kind to my rubber.

Awesome job and great post! What caliber and bullet did you use?

Thanks! I was using my 30 yr old Browning A-Bolt my Dad gave me when I graduated High School, 3x9x40 Leupold and 168 TTSX, she never took a step, just tumbled about a hundred yards.

Thanks! I’ve got a few tags left, next up is antelope in a few weeks.

I hate shelf roads, not a fan of heights at all. 10 ply tires are your friend. It’s crazy to think they used to take stagecoaches over it.

Awesome post. I love reading experiences of others...as much as it pains me to say it...this is 1000x times better than 100pg of bs.

Good thing @Forum Janitor had some imodium ad to stop the mess.

I thought it was, I never paid enough attention to see it actually was a duck.

Been out antelope hunting, over the years I’ve seen several B&C type bucks here and a Buddy shot one in this unit a few years ago. It took me 10 points to pull this tag, saw about 50 today with 8 bucks total. I had a real nice buck at about 150 yds but passed him because I saw a bigger buck earlier that I could never get closer than a mile to, I hope I don’t regret passing him up.

This country isn’t what you think of when you think antelope hunting, no sage brush, it’s all 9,000+ ft up and there plenty of aspen and timber. Of course I see a bunch of turkeys in the last day of the season and no turkey tag in my pocket.

I’ve got to work tomorrow but hopefully I can get back up there Tuesday/Wednesday and then next weekend for the last weekend. Good pictures of the lopes were rough to get, most were at least a mile out and it was really warm so the mirage was as terrible.

Well I struck out on antelope, I only had 1 good day to hunt before I got the sinus infection from hell and I passed a nice buck that I should’ve popped. 15 minutes before sunset on the last evening of the hunt I got a crack at a decent buck at 235 yards but I shot under, I could not get my crosshairs steady as I was winded from climbing the hill and coughing. 10 years it took to get that tag and I did the best I could.

I passed this guy up when he was on legal ground, not on legal dirt when I took this pucture



Minutes after missing a different buck



More hunts coming up soon
