The Silver Lining, Part 2
Posted by Rachelle on 05 Sep 2010 | Tagged as: Antelope, Elk, Twitter
Remember the scoreboard from the last post? Mule Deer and Elk, 2; AE Team and Clients, 1. Well John’s scoreboard for this week looks pretty dang good! Elk and Antelope, 0; John, 2.
The unusually hot week meant antelope hunting success would come for John out of a Double Bull blind over a waterhole.
Ironically, the unusually hot week meant elk hunting success would come in a similar, but less traditional manner. With elk not responding to cow calls at all this week, and in fact, very few cows to be seen, John’s success came early morning from another blind, this one on a crossing into the elk’s food source.
Congratulations, John, on your first pronghorn and elk! Thanks for coming to Colorado to share the adventure with the Atkinson Expeditions team. And thanks to Jules, for being our upbeat good luck charm all week!

Jason Connects on a Hot Day!
Clint's Patience Rewarded!
Archery Successes Continue
Posted by Rachelle on 28 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: Antelope, Elk, Mule Deer, Twitter
Congrats to Jason and Clint on great archery antelope this morning … kudos to you for your patience and good shots!
For now, pics can be seen in the Live Updates on the homepage.
Temperatures in the low 90s today made for great success on antelope waterholes. It doesn’t, however, bode quite as well for elk hunting!
The archery elk and mule deer opener was this morning as well. It’s always an exciting season. Follow Pat Lefemine of Bowsite.com on his third elk hunt with AE! Pat broadcasts his hunt semi-live on his website homepage, www.bowsite.com. Check it out!
Also chasing elk with a bow is John from Alaska, who was successful in his pursuit of the pronghorn earlier this week. Congrats and good luck, John!
And last but certainly not least is Brad, who’s here from the DC area with his traditional stick and string, after a nice muley. We’ve been watching a couple with him in mind for weeks and one of them, Blades - whose pic you can see in Scouting Photos, is hitting water in the daylight.
As always, thanks for following!
Don’t get Stalked by Marty and Wes
Posted by Rachelle on 23 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: Antelope, Twitter
The last time these guys did a one-day spot-and-stalk hunt was Thanksgiving Day 2009.
So today history repeated itself.
Wes found a goat living in the wrong spot, and these two guys got it right again.
?
Now their question is, what humble pie might be waiting around the corner for them?
Where they blow the stalk, or blow the critter off the ranch for 5 days?
Oh yes, and you can be sure that this will be an upcoming webisode.
Because it’s not perfect unless you got it on camera and perfection is in their genes.
Stay tuned for more great archery action from the AE team!
End of the First Week, First Blood
Posted by Rachelle on 23 Aug 2010 | Tagged as: Antelope, Twitter
It was a rugged first week of archery antelope hunting.
You know you’re an archery antelope hunter, or an outfitter of archery antelope hunters, when after a couple of weeks of hot, dry summer you’re the only one in town looking at the dark blue skies and towering thunderheads moving from the mountains to the plains and finding it hard to be thankful for the rain.
That was our first week of archery antelope hunting. Possibly the darkest blue skies I’ve seen all summer.
Thankfully, we had a group of outstanding, understanding bowhunters. You know who you are and thanks for hanging in there and keeping your and our spirits up! After torrential downpours, 2 attempts at 3/4 draw, passing on 4 small bucks, a couple of blown stalks, a couple of long-shot misses, lots of improvisation and hard work by Jerome and Wes, we felt a little beat-up.
So Rob drawing first blood at the end of the week was a welcome sigh of relief. Congrats, Rob, what a great buck! The dry spell (wet spell?) is broken, and the hot, dry weather is back!
Two Months Later…

My apologies to our phenomenal guides and antelope hunters in Southern Colorado … Jason gave me this update of the fantastic archery antelope season down there weeks ago and I am just now making it happen. Thanks to Jason and Leon it was a very successful, fun time for many hunters … and here’s the pics to prove it. Come archery antelope hunting with OE! You can’t beat this hunt… easy on the pocket book and success rates that blow most archery percentages out of the water!
Southern Colorado Archery Antelope wrap-up
Wow! What a season we’ve had in Southern Colorado! Our pre-season scouting and planning had us looking good coming in to the Archery opener only to have 2+ inches of rain fall on the ranch just 2 weeks before opening day. Fortunately, some high temperatures and steady winds dried things out in a hurry and we started off the season with 2 nice bucks on the ground in the first 2 days. (Congrats to Ross and Jack).
The second week of the season started off just as hot with Thetis scoring BIG on her 1st ever archery Pronghorn her 1st day in camp. Lenny put another buck on the ground the following day. Not to be outdone, Thetis’s husband Tom punched his tag the last day of the hunt.
Rain threw a bit of a wrench into things the last week we were in the field; however, Jimmy (our only traditional hunter this year), had multiple opportunities at a few smaller bucks but never connected with the “one” he was looking for.
On behalf of Leon and myself, I would like to extend a big “THANK YOU” to all of our clients this season. It was truly a pleasure meeting and getting to know each and every one of you and we are both looking forward to sharing some time in the field with each of you in the coming years.
A big thanks also to our cooks…Gayle, Steph and Wendi…you gals did an AWESOME job!
-Jason
