Congratulations. Always very cool to see an antelope with a traditional bp rifle, the one animal so many think takes a high tech, high velocity rifle. One question is why is he so wet/muddy? Rain?
I bushwhacked him at a waterhole and had to quick drag him out before he drowned.

Ok. Yeah antelope is a lot harder with a muzzleloader but if it works its much more rewarding. You know I'll say even if you don't win it's still rewarding from a historical sense and taking on the challenge.
Yep,.... plus, I just enjoy sneakin' around in the bushes. I used to bow hunt but completely tore my shoulder. I get another muzzleloader chance for deer in Sept.
Nothing wrong with that. Good hunt and write up. Have tried liver from a number of critters, but have yet to have antelope.
Thanks. I personally like it better than venison liver.
Congratulations to you!. Few things more rewarding than to take an antelope with a muzzleloader.
Venison liver and heart were traditional opening day camp dinner. Found black bear liver to be rather mild, though it wasn’t always an opening day treat. To stretch things (received odd looks from PH), I have also tried a number of African Plains Game animal livers, and though a few were close to the ‘what is this limit’, all were palatable, at least to me.
Thanks. I was fortunate and am grateful. My best animal.
In 1972-73 I lived and worked with a fellow in Uganda who was a PH. Waterbuck was a favorite.

Had a buddy from Cheyenne, WY back in the 90's who ranked antelope hunting as his favorite game to hunt. He was pursuing them with BP, which I introduced him to, before he passed away before his time.
Maybe some day I'll apply for a tag and enjoy this type of hunt, also.
Glad for your success.

Congratulations on a nice lope! I am still waiting for my first chance with 20 points in the book. At 76, I hope I can get there before my time runs out.
Looks like you're from AZ. I'm a Yuma Boy myself, Yuma High Criminal, Class of '72. Poked around Green Valley too, Stay ready for that tag, mebbe shoot some javelina. Heck, I'd like to do that! Hunted Coues deer once. The hunting was great, the shooting...not so much. Dam, those things are quick! I did get my first 2 deer there though (archery muleys). Anyway...I'm thinking good thoughts for you to draw soon, Old Oak.
My condolences for the loss of your friend. Glad he got to get some hunting in though. Pronghorns are pretty cool critters alright. Go get after them!
