Roy’s 2011 Steens Mtn Antelope

Roy's 2011 Antelope Buck after the long wait!

Roy contacted me back in early summer that he had a Steens Antelope Tag.   He also told me that he had hunted deer the Steens and knew that area well.   He was wondering if I would share some extra info on places that he might get into Antelope in the Steens.

Just in case his spots did not work out that there were other avenues to work in the Steens.  The spot that Roy hunted is a great area for lopes which his story tells the end result!

Frank, I got a great picture of some real nice rams in the area and sharing it with you and your readers.

Bighorn Sheep that Roy was able to get close to!

I killed a nice buck on Thursday evening, 14 inch buck, nice ivory tips, and good size!  I gave up on the long range shooting and sat at a water hole for hours and hours. I hunted in the area northeast of Moon Hill Road.

This buck has some Cutters (Prongs) I know why he took this lope!

I had multiple Does bed down below me at the waterhole when I shot this buck. There were antelope everywhere, and the good thing was, when I got a shot it was a mere 186 yards. The buck didn’t even move, he just crumpled right there.

I was pumped, got him to the locker in less than 2 hours, and the meat tastes great.

Thanks Much, Roy Jackson

I really like this buck and he was definitly a shooter and will look great on the wall!  Bwana
