would be an easy 200 yard
shot. Then I noticed the Does
were sensing that something
was up, but didn’t know what,
and they started a fast walk,
right toward me. I quickly set-
tled the old .270 in the crotch of
the shooting sticks and readied
myself for the shot. Soon I had
three of the Does filling my
scope and then the black horns
of the lead buck. Then the
questions started entering my
mind, is this the big buck? Is
this buck large enough to end
my hunt? My mind said, yes!
At 150 yards, walking straight
at me, the buck met his end.
For me it is sometimes a
sober moment when the end of
a hunt is reached and I have
taken a life. The buck that lay
before me was a magnificent
animal; I had made a good
stalk and a clean kill. But I also
knew that it might be 13 years,
again, before I would get to ex-
perience this great high desert
country and the inspiring ante-
lope bucks that run across its
horizons. I also realized it may
very well be my last antelope
hunting trip with my father.
Speaking of Dad, he was
soon on the radio, then drove
down into the bottom, packed
up the pack boards and took
some pictures of my prize and
me. Even at 82, he packed the
head and some of my gear
down the hill to the waiting pick-
up. Boy, I sure hope I’m still do-
ing that when I reach those
years in my life.
