Friend invited me this year to accompany him on his annual Antelope hunt. He's a good hunter and a good friend. He knew where to go and has been there before. I haven't.

We were hunting on 3 block management units covering 27,000 acres near Sand Springs. We saw three does and one buck. Every one we talked with only saw the three does. My friend killed one of the does. I looked at the map and saw a section with a small pond in the middle and no roads. I climbed a high peak and glassed the area. Saw a white spot, hiked for two hours and about 1 1/2 miles, got with in 250 yards of a smalll buck and missed my shot.

It started raining this morning and we were 12 miles from the nearest paved road...we came home! .

Any day hunting is better than any day working, even if you do miss!
