I had the pleasure of meeting Ursus21 (Troy) out in Montana for a combo hunt. Troy invited me to put in for an antelope tag and we both got drawn for the same hunting zone. He also suggested we may have time to call a few predators if we tagged out early. He didn't have to twist my arm.
The first day we chased antelope for most of the day with Cory, the land owner. We finally found a herd that cooperated and we both shot bucks towards the end of the first day out.
The next day we did some predator calling. On the second stand we had a hard charger come into a combo of a Braz handcall and the FX5. After a close encounter, Troy dropped the fleeing coyote on the run.
The next stand we were just about to get up and we spotted a coyote circling the call across a canyon. He stopped just long enough to catch a .204 at 150-yards.
We had another one come in fast at the next stand, but we couldn't connect. The next day we had a lot of action. Another hard charger came in quick and we did the old, "I thought you were going to shoot" deal.
We had another one peak at us at about 500-yards, but wouldn't commit.
The next stand we were again about to leave when I spotted a pair coming in. I tell Troy and we get set. They come over a slight hill at about 75-yards on the trot. I put the cross hairs on the chest and pull the trigger and 'CLICK' They both take off and I ended dropping her as she took off.
A few stands later we get a triple to come in and I drop one out at 185-yards. The others left in a volley of lead without much damage.
Oh yeah, we both shot nice antelope too.
Thanks again for the invite, Troy. I had a great time on the hunt and really enjoyed meeting you, Cory and your family.
