Earlier this week I filled my first tag of '12. I was using my 260 Striker on this hunt

Congrats Wyote!

On the board for 2012 - what bullet do you use out of the .260? Please give us some details on the hunt (it'll be a little bit before I can sling anything but arrows)

Good Job! Way to start things off right.

Ours doesn't open up until the 1st of October-Wow!
Congrats there!!!

WTG! Starting the year off 'right'!

Good show! What was the distance?

Pretty simple hunt.........We had to shoot with in a half mile of irrigated land. So that pretty well meant hay fields.

About shooting time I pulled into a hay field and there was a herd in front the stack yard. I was getting my gear out of the truck and the antelope took off for the end of the field. I snuck over to the fence, got prone and shot the doe. I left my range finder at the house, the shot was farther than I thought. which resulted in low hit and a follow up

I was using a 120 Nosler BT.

Wow! Short hunt; good shot! And a horned doe to top it all off!

Congrats on the first of the year! Was the horned doe by-chance or did you know it was horned?

Man, I didn't know you could hunt those in August! What's it like for non-residents?

Congrats on the fine speed goat. The season opens here in Nevada on August 22 through September 5. Nice shot!

Congrats! Great way to start off the year.

nice!

There ya go, showing off again!

Is the Antelope buck season open in Aug as well? I see a hunt before my wife starts teaching at school next year.

SBhunter all hunt dates for R and NR are the same. This was a doe/fawn hunt but there is an area down on So Pass (area 107) that is a buck antelope hunt that opens Aug 20th. This hunt is for muzzleloader/handgun only.

KRal, I was just looking for a good doe (preferably dry) when I picked this one out of the group. I did see she had horns but I didn't necessarily pick her for that reason.

Nice work! Congratulations!

Thats great. Big congrats!!!!

good shooting and a fine looking doe. can't wait til I get to hunt goats again

Nice, very nice. Should eat good.

Congratulations Wyote! I agree, can we have some details on the shot distance, reaction, ammo used etc.?

It's hard for me to feel sorry for a guy that's been stacking up SC hogs like KRal is stacking up Missouri squirrels.

FIRST OF 12 ??? RUB IT IN !! I WAS HOPPING TO GET JUST ONE ON THE WEST SIDE NEAR UTAH . BUT WHEN I FOUND OUT I COULD NOT USE MY .223 ENCORE PISTOL I DIDN'T FEEL SO BAD . GOOD JOB ON THE ANTELOPE !!!!

good job!

Congrats!! I am going to Wyoming in October for an antelope buck. I can't wait!!

Rob, Mr. wyote was referring to his first of 2012; not first of twelve. The most antelope you can legaly kill in Wyoming to my knowledge was back in the 90's when you could kill a buck and five does if you bought the tags. One year, two of my antelope hunters teamed up and did just that. IE: each hunter killed a buck 'lope and five does; twelve total between them. That stands as a record for the Handgun Hunters International Antelope Hunt, and likely will not be broken.

That is going to be a fun hunt. I am also looking forward to it.

PS: I need your and hubby's t-shirt sizes!

Some areas are good for 2 bucks. The most doe tags you can get are 4, 2 having to be obtained during the initial draw.
