Notice the nice bullet hole
It took Darin 7 years to get his Antelope tag, so there was no talking him out of going on this hunt (believe me I tried) Him and Jeremy left early Thursday morning and drove to Ely, picked up another guy and than cruised over to his area to hunt. They soon discovered that all the antelope were on the farmers land grazing so they knocked on a few doors and asked if they could hunt on their property the first two said no, but third times the charm and this old guy named Todd took a liking to Darin and let him hunt on his property! Darin & Todd hopped in his truck and he takes him to where he saw some earlier, Darin takes a few shots and missed, so he drops Darin off by a water pump that's loud and hidden and tells him to hide there, he's gonna go back up and chase them down his way and to stick his barrel up one of the antelopes ass and shoot!! It went just as planned, they ran right past Darin and stopped about 75 yards away, The antelope started to move on him again so Darin knew this would be his last chance. He took a shot and ended up hitting the antelope in the head and it dropped instantly to the ground!! Todd told them after they gutted it to bring it up to the barn. They get it to the barn and Todd has a nice set up and helps Darin skin it and cut up the meat. They of course BS the whole time and Todd says he's not sure why he let Darin hunt on his property, he never lets anyone hunt on his property!! I'm glad he did cause the hunt was so fast they headed home that evening, the funny thing is he spent all day Wednesday packing up getting things ready and they didn't need any of it!! Oh well all that matters is he got something right? |
