Cantelope Hunting

So quick update.

Ashleigh has wanted me to go hunting for quite some time so she finally got me to go Antelope hunting with her, Clark, Stuart, Jim, Colby and some other relatives. It was so much fun. Friday night we drove to Farson and spent the night. Clark and Stu slept in the truck while us big kids were in the tent. Ashleigh and I were sitting in the tent while the rest of the group were talking outside. They were talking to her 22 year-old cousin about school. He was saying that he we should only have to more years left at BYU but he probably wouldn't get done by then. Clark was saying that was probably a good thing considering he wasn't married and suggested that maybe he go to BYUI-Do to find a wife. So I decided to chime in and said "I'm single." Apparently that was funny because everyone busted out laughing, and according to Jim, Collin's face turned as red as his hair.

We started hunting saturday morning. Well I didn't hunt because I don't have a hunting lisence but I still had fun going along. Colby shot her doe pretty quick and I learned that the gutting process isn't that gross. A couple hours later Jim nipped his buck and he had to track it for a while to finish it off. Another couple hours later we were riding along and I was like "CANTELOPE!!!" so we pull up and it's a buck and Clark says that it's not quite big enough. But then the buck just stood there begging to be shot so that's what clark did. He shot him once and then he turned around, shot him twice and was about to shot him a third time when he literally keeled over backwards. It was one of the funniest things I've seen. Later we were looking for a doe for Ashleigh and while we were off roading we hit a ditch and I did a faceplant into the back of the seat in front of me that was funny too.

So to sum it up, What I Learned While Antelope Hunting:
Antelope hunting is the most redneck sport ever. You ride around in your truck till you see an antelope then you jump out and shot it. If you do it correctly you use the door for an armrest while you shoot. Clark exicuted this perfectly when he shot his buck.
