Oregon Archery Pronghorn Successful Hunt

Russ & Doug’s 2011 Pronghorn Hunt

I would love to tell you where this buck was taken, but I promised that I would not give out the exact location.  For two (2) years a couple of the fellows in the circle have taken dandy Antelopes from this area in S.E. Oregon.   It is a Pronghorn Archery Hunt Unit that takes about 5-7 preference points to get draw.   As my biologist that I have known for more years than I can remember told me recently that Oregon has monster Lopes in every unit, “it is just a matter of having the time and patience to find them”.
I myself have hunted a number of units with the arrow and have been fortunate to harvest some big Antelope Bucks!  So I know from scouting in almost all of the units that there dandy bucks everywhere.

A little different profile! Great buck taken by Russ!

This is a dandy archery Antelope Buck taken by Russ in 2011

This buck was one that got away, but not before Doug took his picture. Definitely a candidate of a buck for Boone & Crockett in 2012!

Enjoy the shots by Russ & Doug!

Brandon’s 2010 West Beatys Butte Archery Antelope Hunt

Brandon’s 2010 West Beatys Butte Antelope 40 yards!

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.

Scouting Lope at waterhole!

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.
