16 Year Old Hunting Antelope
« on: October 22, 2010, 07:55:23 PM »
Took Erik antelope hunting today. 
We spotted a large heard with multiple bucks.  There were three in the group that Erik was willing to take.  After a long stalk, with several re-routes, we finally made it to a suitable shooting spot.  Look-out doe knew we were there, but only knew something was there. 
Biggest problem was that there were so many antelope he couldn't get a clear shot and movement to a better shooting position would put them on the run.  Finally, one of the bucks stopped, was semi-quartering and clear of other antelope.  Animal went down right where he stood.  He was shooting the 7mm SAUM XP-100, shooting 162 A-max.  Distance was 210 yards.  Dad is quite proud of course.

He does quite well behind a specialty pistol for sure.
He was prepared for a longer shot if needed, but was content to put a good "sneaky sneaky" on them. 
We did quite a bit of crawling.
