40 Yards with a Bow


Nate's Antelope




Well, as you can see the hunting season has officially started. Which means that we are going to be gone pretty much every weekend from here on out. Well, at least Nathan is...... which means I need a fill in husband. Anyone? J/K

Here is the antelope that Nathan got with his bow on Monday. He has been trying to get this buck for about 2 weeks now. He has been sitting on the same water hole and this buck wouldn't come in any closer than 100 yards. His does would come and drink but this stubborn dude kept his distance. Probably because he knew what was awaiting him. Well as you know, every Labor Day weekend, it rains. So of course they wouldn't be coming in to the water hole. Nate came home on Sunday and grabbed his decoy and went back out that night to take one last stab at it. So Monday came and was rainy almost all day long. The weather cleared finally around 4:00 and he seen this buck and his does out in the distance. So he grabbed his decoy and called the buck in. Once the buck seen his decoy and heard the challenge call, he was on a dead sprint. He stopped at 40 yards and was "STUCK"! We're pretty sure he will go Pope and Young. Good job babe!

Hey! We tried to call you guys on Friday to see if you wanted to go eat and then go miniature golfing but we didn't get an answer on your cell and I couldn't remember your home phone. You guys were probably hunting anyways right?
