I really like to hunt antelope. Several years ago I quit putting in for antelope tags out in the eastern part of Montana and started rolling the dice on more local tags(only an hours drive) so I could take my time with it. I sacrificed an annual weekend with the boys for the chance to hunt the same area/ same bucks untill I hopefully got one I was happy with. I hunted them with bow and arrow lightly 3 years ago before eventually getting one we had named "Bulletproof", with my rifle, my best one to date. Then it happened, I failed to draw, for the first time of my life, and an 80% success rate district none the less. And then it happened again two years in a row. So, after weezing and learning a lesson or two, and a giant cut in antelope tags out east I put in with a little different strategy this year. I had a back up plan that would hopefully still get me a point for the years to come. I drew the archery only tag, good news and well....good news. But thus starts my true test.
I am not the most patient guy around, thus I struggle with bowhunting. I have been on several succesful bow hunts. I was just usually the one calling, or caught in the moment and forgetting to draw, but it doesnt matter. Tomorrow I start this years annual antelope quest, exclusively bow and arrow. I hope to be humbled, and learn more than I want to, and hopefully lots of luck and a straight shot, a little success. We'll see, like I said, I'm not a patient guy. However I learned a few things while ninja fishing on a nearby creek recently.
