I've taken a boone and crockett out of this this particular area right here so
definitely I come and check this when I come into this unit this is the first
place I check spot this buck here with three other bucks he's nice and heavy I
can't tell how good he's prongs are and I can't really tell how heavy is it's
too far away I just see it's not spindly but I could barely see
tips of his ears and boy he's got a lot of horn above that the only way to just
come in here tomorrow morning's when the sun's coming up when the sun's up you really
get a good look at him and if he's a good buck then then you make a plan on a
stalk getting too late tonight might be the one we want 16 and a half inches
well folks I'm here on the top of my unit at nine thousand four hundred feet
this side of the road is my unit this is the next unit over and right here in the
next unit we've got two bucks and both bucks are over eighty two either one of
them would go boone and crockett many years ago I hunted down the other side
of here and took a really great buck it was 17 inches and he was boone and
crockett and this one buck here looks exactly
like him the other buck looks like the one that I
passed on because he was shorter heavier but shorter elected to take - 17 incher
so this is probably where those two bucks summered and then they peel off
these creek drainages and go down to the desert during the winter that's my
luck we got to keep going we got to get an hour back down this creek here maybe
I'll find a good buck in my area
that's pretty big button got real good prongs and they're out there in the
middle of a flat 550 yards it's a tough place to hunt them
we're gonna go right through this little gully here it might be low enough that
we can do it it's the only chance we have to get in
what happened to me I tried to get given a little Huell under 500 yards they saw
me and off they went gosh there was a big buck in that bunch
mike is getting a closer look at a buck we spotted earlier in the hunt
this the morning of the last day of the hunt
we got another buck we want to look at down over in a different part of the
area so go look at and see if we can't find him it's getting down there folks
that's the way it is I'm just not gonna shoot a buck it's gonna have to be a
really you know a good trophy buck mike has finally relocated the 16 inch
buck he spotted the first night in the hunt I'm gonna have to range 400 yards
you're running there they go and I hit him
oh he fell down on that gully right over there
350 yards long ways for an old man holy smokes folks look at this look at
the mass on this book especially above the digger look at here he's got over
seven inches total circumference is between these two I bet he's got a
six-inch prong this buck is going to be right around 85 this is a really great
trophy antelope a probably go boone and crockett
this is probably one of the prettiest ones I've ever taken
you really hate hawks back glad you can come along with me on this DIY public
land antelope hunt and remember fair chase is the only way to hunt and take
trophy big game we'll see you next week on the Eastman's hunting TV show
