Some guys have all the luck
Posted by Wes on 11 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: Antelope
James and son Hunter with a 15 1/4 inch buck that marks the second of two great bucks that the pair have harvested together in as many years. After a mile stalk today James made a solid 200 yd shot to put another super buck on the ground. See trophy room 2006 for a look at the buck he shot last year. Thanks guys and hope that there are many more to come. Tomorrow we will enjoy trying to get Hunter his first coyote. Lots of laughs will be in store. It was the first time I have ever packed out an antelope so we put Bruzer Gear to the test….flawless.
Later, Wes

Antelope hunters go 8 for 8 in 2 days

Another successful, fun rifle antelope opener. We had 6 buck antelope hunters this week and 2 doe hunters and all will be eating antelope sausage in the near future. One youngster harvested his first doe with his grandpa and the other buck hunters all chalked up their firsts as well. It’s a good break from chasing elk and always nice to see lots of animals. Some of the big ones got away but some of them didn’t. We have a couple more hunters coming in today and things look good. Check soon for the stories to come. I don’t have all of the pics yet because of the different units we hunt but I’ll get them up when I get them.
Also check out the recent KS trail cam pics in the trophy room under KS scouting pics. We are starting to pick up some good bucks for all of you headed there. It’s going to be fun.
We chased a cow a couple of days back and got right into the middle of bulls - a fun hunt so I posted a pic here. Congrats, Clint, on your first elk!

Welcome back, Sean and Rob!

Rifle antelope season kicked off yesterday morning with a bang! Sean, who harvested a beautiful muley with us last year, returned this year for the West’s infamous speedgoat. Scouting with Wes Friday evening, they bedded this heavy pronghorn and his girls. A little over twelve hours later, Sean had him in his sights. Congratulations, Sean, on your first antelope! He is a stud - all 6-inch cutters of him - and it’s always a privilege to hunt with you.
Other good news this weekend is that Atkinson Expeditions’ guide, Rob, a cornerstone in our business and a favorite with clients, returned to the field after a serious injury! He’s out with Shawn and Eric, another two rifle antelope hunters here this weekend. Expect a fantastic update soon!
