Montana 2017- Saturday

Day started out cold 32 with snow and rain till about 10:30. Yes we still hunted..brrrr chasing antelope. Hunted north of Columbus MT on a walk in access property (14,000 acres)= lots of driving and walking/ stalking. Spotted 11 different herds of antelope made 7 unsecessful stalks but saw a lot of animals relatively close ..ie 200 yards or so. Andrew 1st stalk put him 100 yards from 2 antelope bucks but getting that last 30 yards he got busted. Also had a stalk on a nice 3x4 mule deer ..got to 125 yards the bedded does busted us. 
After a quick bite of lunch midday we hunted a ranch near big timber. 2 herds of antelope ..one had 29 in it other had 17. Andrew had brief encounter at 50yrds w one herd buck but it busted him drawing bow. All in all a great day. Snow on the peaks north of town is beautiful. More to come tomorrow!
