ONLINE BOWHUNT: Antelope In Wyoming
Sept 12, 2000 - Day #5
(11:38am) Ande just radioed me and all the antelope are on the hill where I originally put my blind. They've been feeding and resting all morning. As you know there is spring water on that hill, so they might be there for hours. Three mule deer does visited me about 10:00 and drank from the small water hole on my left. 

Half an hour later two more does came over the same hill and walked down. When the were roughly 45 yards away they went on alert and looked toward the windmill area a couple hundred yards away. A wide pronged buck with heart shaped horns was charging past the windmill towards us. Good news ... and bad news. Good news it was a mature buck, bad news that there is a fence between the windmill and us antelope and bowhunters. It's bad news because antelope almost never jump a fence. So the buck went wild, running up and down the fence and making the clicking sound they make. The does were unimpressed, they watered and left. Here's their pic through the mesh window, seconds before the buck showed up. 

This afternoon Ande drove to a blind we call the Pit Blind and hunted it. He saw a huge buck working the area and a few does came to the water. The Pit Blind doesn't have a roof and the hot sun baked him. At twilight he picked me up and we set up a Double Bull blind inside the Pit. Tomorrow is day #6, two more days to go.
