we're going to be chasing antelope bucks with a bow and arrow rig
trying to make a play on those bucks and they busted us and we try to beat him to the fence line
yeah i think what we're going to do is we're going to lay low right here
they might come back for a drink and then we'll go after him again
right
hi i'm guy eastman and this is eastman's hunting tv we're going to be chasing antelope bucks with
a bow and arrow rig we're going to first off head to wyoming with brandon mason
and his son hunter then we're going to transition up to big sky country with jordan beshears and his
son who's on the camera as well so both the sons are going to be filming their dads let's see how
this turns out it's kind of a family affair but i think these young guys have an eye for the camera
all right well we got in here to where i set up the ground blind a couple weeks ago
and the water hole that all the antelope we're coming to is bone dry
this is mid-august in wyoming and night and things dry out fast so the good thing
is there's another water hole that's a little deeper but with not as much cover um right over
the rise over there so we're probably gonna have to relocate and set us in the blind this morning
well we went and looked around that other water hole and i we think we know where they're going
it's kind of hard to tell because there's so many cattle tracks in there too but we
did find what we thought was some pretty good antelope trails um just right over there but
we're still setting up at the ground blind because it gives us a good vantage point at least for today
we're just gonna sweat it out in the ground blind today's supposed to be 95 degrees
he was a pretty buck he didn't come with an archery range either way but he wasn't it's not
quite big enough to shoot he's in nice nice prongs and fairly heavy and everything but i think he's
just young either way he didn't tip me enough to come too close so i didn't worry about it
that buck came in really fast we weren't even prepared he's down there watering right now
we set up the decoys in the hopes that when the antelope come in
they'd see the decoys and not worry about us and it was perfect and
i could easily shot a perfect quartering away shot so it's a perfect test
right
i shot high i couldn't i always put my nose on my kisser button right here and i couldn't feel it
through my face mask he's not a giant buck but i guess prongs weren't that great but when he
came in is he he looked back really nice so i decided to shoot i shot right over on my bank
clean as a whistle let's clean up that broadhead and use her again
we're in an ambush spot we're just about ready to give up on it the antelope are
feeding away way up on the hill it looks like they're gonna come by us but we'll see
well the antelope did what antelope do they're predictably unpredictable so so we're gonna go
pack up our decoys and head back to camp we're gonna go try a different part of the unit today
one last ditch effort i didn't think it would work but it's almost dark this is a piece of state land
and uh we're on our way out gonna head back home because we didn't have any other opportunities
pretty buck though nicest one we've seen this archery season so far
no dice oh well head back home
brandon has a clean miss under his belt there's plenty of antelope
around it's only a matter of time until everything comes together
they stopped literally right on the other side of the irrigation pivot
and i couldn't shoot there are like 15 yards away i couldn't shoot oh so frustrating
we're in the right spot they just need to just step this way or that way like 10 feet
yeah baby
nice shot nice job wow
well it's august 17th and uh antelope season is underway here in montana
just high and higher to stop this evening doing a warm-up hunt trying basically trying
to get some good warm-up for our legs and opportunity to get on some critters
let's switch gears going north to montana and check in with eastman staffer jordan beshears
i can't quite get a range on them there's too much brush there's two smaller bucks
that are probably about 60 yards
and the big buck is with the does
100 yards back we're just hanging out with this little buck settle down
they were 85 walking back from the water but just wasn't quite what we're after we're looking for
something in that 70 inch range and they're probably only
high 50s low 60s pretty fun though we did good
that's a big buck right there
yeah
yes we smoked an antelope
i hit him a little far back so we're going to get over this hill and look at him
my arrow's right here somewhere so i'm gonna mark it
so it looks like that buck is gonna need to have the night we uh didn't find any blood trail
so we're gonna just back out of here let him be i could see blood all over his stomach and his legs
i definitely hit him and solid in the guts it's not the shot i was wanting
sun's coming up we shot that antelope buck yesterday
and uh we had to let him go for the night because it got dark and we couldn't find a blood trail
so we're actually coming in from the opposite direction and spotting the hillside that he
ran across hoping that we can find him dead there or find blood there and then we're just
going to start doing a grid the the road is up here behind us he could have crossed
that direction there's a fence the other way so he's probably over there if he went anywhere
well here he is man what a hunt it stormed pretty hard last night dropped about 40 degrees in
temperature so we felt like we wouldn't lose the meat we couldn't find a blood trail anyway so
there wasn't a lot of options there so absolutely stoked my boy wyatt's here filming me he's 10
years old and he did an excellent job he might just be our youngest episode filmer we don't
want to get his head too big though so we're not going to tell him that we are thankful and blessed
and have a wonderful buck on the ground we're gonna start cutting him up here
