Early on in 2010 after Brandon drew his Archery Antelope Tag for West Beatys Butte with one preference point, he contacted me via email about possilbe Lope hunting sights in the unit.   He and his dad were willing to spend some time to scout the area.   I worked up some waypoints from the old days and since he had a Garmin Mapping GPS, it made it easy for him to utilize the waypoints.

I thought I would share the pictures from his hunt and a short story about the hunt.   The big thing he was successful on this bow hunt and harvested a very good Antelope.

Bwana,

In the above attachment you will find the 2010’ Archery Antelope that I got which you helped me on with the GPS coordinates.  You will also see a picture of a really nice Lope that we saw during our scouting trip we did 1 month prior to opening day.

I got the smaller lope at the same hole as we saw the larger lope at.  There was an average of 20 to 40 lopes using the water hole we found.  I shot my lope at 40 yards out of a Primos double bull blind while he was drinking water from the hole.  Last year was extremely dry and any hole that had water had antelope around.

The water hole that I hunted which I found while scouting is coordinates:

Top Secret Spot

Thanks again for all the help you were. Your help with the GPS let me find the above water hole which brought me success. There were a lot of antelope around this water hole.
