it's a nice buck last day of the season final hour this is it
hi I'm Guy Eastman from your host and this is Eastmans' Hunting TV on today's episode
we're gonna go with my brother Ike Eastman to southern Colorado on a trophy
DIY antelope on
his prong is not above zero so he's not he's not 14 inches tall but other than that
I mean he's got the makings to be a great buck
ike has his sights set pretty high this year last year he was able to kill a
very nice buck down here in a different part of the unit
that's a dead goat this year Ike is hoping he can find another good buck on
this end of the area
with his work cut out for him this year I continues on his scouting mission to
try to find a big buck that is slipped through the cracks of the hunt last year
it's the tallest buck we've seen so far though
for the break my brother Ike was scouting hard and heavy in his Colorado
antelope unit for a big buck the day before the October rifle season opens
kind of turns it doesn't really turn - I know he's got both diggers but I can't
tell how good they are and I can't tell if he ain't hooks backer shoot well
as the Sun begins to set I finally turns up what seems to be a
really good buck feeding down in a grassy secluded draw the perfect spot
for a stalk it's a nice buck he's not a huge buck but he's a nice buck last day
of the season final hour this is it
Ike managed to shoot right behind that buck
he couldn't have shot any closer to the buck without hitting him if he would
have tried
missed him tried to push it this is not how I wanted to end hi antelope
season pushed it
just when he thought that might be the end of his season Ike manages to find
the buck again and he just might get a second chance of redemption
ike hustles up the road in a last-ditch effort to cut the bucks off as they
travel to the waterhole for the night
tell me what you are
the one from the left
uh-oh this sounds like some hunter cameraman confusion going on here there
are three bucks in this bunch and they're all about the same age and
similar in size ike is really hunting for the white buck but as the light gets
ever lower they all start to look the same
we shot the wrong book yeah last our last day of the hunt and there's like
four bucks in there and they were walking away from us and kept changing
spots they'd run for a little bit and then they'd stop and I was trying to
find which one was which and I just didn't take my time we literally it's
6:40 in it shooting lights at 7:00 so
all is not lost however all three bucks in the bunch were very good bucks with
literally only an inch or two separating them even though I cut the wrong buck he
is still headed home with a very nice trophy Colorado antelope folks this is
the end of my antelope hunt in Southeast Colorado it's been a it's been a long
one we've had some ups and downs and all-around and to fitting end to it the
antelope got confused or I got confused with which antelope was which and shot
the wrong buck shot the second biggest of the group he's a good trophy he's
just a young buck if you look at him he does have two diggers he's got one
inside that kind of curls in not very long he's not super heavy but he's a
respectable buck and I'm happy with him just not happy with myself making a
stupid mistake but we all make them we're all human so thanks for watching
today and remember fair chase is the only way to hunt and take trophy big
game we'll see you next week right here on Eastmans' hunting TV
