we're going antelope hunting!
haha, I love it!
so how's your mom doing? I mean in her first stalk, how would you rate her?
Nine nine and a half oh yeah she's doing great
knocking it out of the park oh yeah how'd that make you feel there Melanie?
I just gave birth to her that's all.
What's your job for Mama? You helping me spot em? yeah and if one has all those
things and what are those things? he's like large has big horns.
yeah
Group of couple of them. He's facing to the right he's the only buck right there on the
right side. You see him? Yeah, can't really see him very well.
So what are we doing today? well we're trying to hunt antelope.
Have we seen very many so far? no no we've hardly seen any at all. What's that buck
doing out there? I think he's cutting does out there.
Still the rut or what? look at this thing they're kicking up dirt and everything.
Yeah, he's a little small
Little small? yeah. kind of has weak prongs. yeah i've seen better you know. So what
are we gonna do? I think can you keep looking, aren't we? Sounds good.
alright let's get after it
he's right in the middle another buck is like right in line with his nose facing
and left he's looking back 300 yards put it on his spine and squeeze off
quartering away take your time
now he's walking
he's getting away
he's walking he's trotting down
I'm glad I brought my children so they could help dress me it's extra practice for when i'm in the old folks home.
well they look pretty tall definitely black well we've got a pretty nice buck
out there at 700 yards it's got some pretty good mass nice diggers looks like
a nice shooter buck. just a long ways? Yeah just a long ways away we're gonna have to
belly crawl or black out like a cow and see if we can sneak in have him not
notice what we are so we're just going to hold it up in front of us so he
doesn't know what it is
well we've been stalking this buck and he' decided to take off in the other direction.
I don't know how far away he is but he's pretty far. evidently we don't look like a cow
we've been pretending to be a cow for I don't know how many yards so and
he's apparently not buying it he's taking off in the opposite direction
I think we're going to give up on this one a and try to find a different one.
just watch the antelope okay
can you tell which one it is? can you see him? I can. You can?
okay so we just spotted the
buck he's about 400 yards away and he's facing away from us the same buck that
we saw this morning that had gotten away from us so it looks like he's sleeping
so we're gonna sneak in behind him
Good shot, he's done!
Is he done?
Did you see him? You hit him and all his legs just spread out!
Good job mama!
perfect shot good job!
He's beautiful!
money shot!
Perfect shot mom!
pretty awesome to see a young boy like that hunt with his mom get him active
get him involved early the best thing that you can do for your kids at that age
Melanie got her first antelope ever we had a good day today it's a one-day hunt
and she's able to bring out her two kids with her been fun out here on public
