I hunted the last 4 days of a 2 week season for antelope in Oregon. We made it happen but I was starting to get skeptical…
You're obviously in eastern Montana. I'm thinking miles city area. You know Randy, that if you saw big Hank 2 minutes after opener, you could pretend hunt the next 7 days and edit big Hank in and we'd be none the wiser. 😊😅 Fond memories for sure.
Right on Randy!
Excellent episode Randy 👍
As always a great hunt, but I can hardly wait for the elk hunts to get going.
Hunting should be like sex. The stalk is a long drawn out process that leads to a climax….🤨
Got my Mt speed goat in HD 400 opening day w/ my Rem 722 in 6 mm. The load was a 90g Remington bronze point. The bullets and gun are older than me.
You didn't harvest a buck in this one, but the birds made up for it. I haven't seen a big flock of Sage Hens like that since the mid to late 90's up on the highline near Ft Belknap in the Malta area. The swans & sharpies were really cool as well.
That's actually a pretty funny impersonation of Matthew
Thanks for taking us along!
In 2022 my wife, son, and I had seven pronghorn tags between us for our preferred area. We made four one-day trips over the course of the season (several weeks). We filled all our tags. On our last hunt day I was able to crawl within 100 yards and take two does. I think they get skittish with constant pressure. But each morning is a fresh start. Keeping a low profile helps immensely.
Too bad the 2022-23 winter decimated the Wyoming herds. I’m looking forward to their numbers improving over the next years.
You have about as much luck drawing Montana pronghorn tags as I do drawing Wyoming pronghorn tags. Now with the aftermath of the 2022 / 2023 winter it's gotten even more difficult. Good luck and enjoy the hunt.
Randy’s impersonation of Mathew was spot on 🤣
Yes, the 90s and a little beyond were great times to hunt antelope in Montana. Not so much since then, but I believe they're making a bit of a come back. After hearing your comments about your drawing luck here, I feel pretty fortunate about my record. I am 81 years old, and I have only been in Big Sky Country for 31 years, but … I shot my 22nd Montana antelope this last season. Yeah, I've been blessed by the antelope gods, I guess! All the best to you and your family!
P.S. And I know what you mean about the memories, as I told my younger (only 67) hunting companion this year, "You might think I'm hunting antelope, but I am really hunting memories."
I was hopin' it was a Cadillac, so they could remove it….Classic!!
What county you hunting here ? 😁 Like you’re gonna tell me right
I really like how you explain Matthews attitude/mind set on how he hunts. He is very cool customer for sure and, if you think bout it, makes total sense. I like it. Thank you for the info and be cool out there. Have a great wknd!!
Go git'em. CHOOT!!! lol
I don’t understand why we talk and talk, then talk some more about Mathew deciding to shoot or not to shoot. It’s the same thing with every video🤷🏼♂️. Probably 50% of all the hunters do the same exact thing. It’s not that unusual. Move on.
