Antelope Hunt - One Shot is all it Took

With a rough score of 80, one shot is all it took to take down this pronghorn. Great hunt!

Stay tuned for more photos from this week's adventure.

Antelope Hunt - Status as of August 22, 2005

Do you ever wonder why everyone thinks that they have a secret spot or some kind of personal ownership to a spot, when in reality - every secret spot is in someway or somehow found by someone else?

Did that make sense?

All I can say is that the old adage's hopefully have some truth to them..."What comes around goes around" and all "good things come to those that wait"! The hunt's still on - well at least until August 26, 2005.


Stay tuned - we still have four days left!

This Weekend...Size Does Matter - Part Two

Allright ...so I guess I'm a little behind in my part two continuation to the last post I made regarding the Antelope Scouting trip, but trust me, this time I should have a better story after the real Antelope hunt this weekend.

Here's some interesting information on how to score your pronghorn antelope and some of the World's Game Records that have been recorded:

Size Usually Does Matter... But Not this Weekend

Antelope Scouting, Day 1

We left at 7:00 AM Saturday and returned home Sunday at 5:00 PM and within that short amount of time, we experienced and saw more natural wonders than most people see in a weekend at home watching the Discovery Channel.


Summit Lake - Paiute Tribe
This is a natural body of water located in Humboldt County, Nevada and is not fishable to anyone other than the tribe members. The lake does inhabit a population of Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. This is one of two remaining naturally reproducing lake populations of this trout subspecies.

Lahontan Cutthroat Trout Natural Area covers an area of 12.318 acres. You can drive through the canyon where the trout are spawning in the stream to the right of the road.

We where able to see 3 to 4 Cutthroat Trout that where about 5 to 6 inches in length.

Continueing up the Canyon - you will also come across an old camp called Stanley Camp. I don't have any information on this camp - but I will continue to look into it and post any new information.

Leaving Summit Lake, we continued subjecting ourselves to a few more hours of rough and rocky terrain arriving finally to our first destination stop.


The spot that we're in, that I can't tell you about, was alive with all kinds of activity. There must have been at least 150 antelope, 50/60 sage hen, a dozen wild horses, 3 deer, a thousand dragon flies, two thousand frogs, one hawk, and a few snakes here or there. Luckily I only saw one - which is enough.

A rainshower had just come down in the valley which seemed to have awakened the insect population. There where dragon flies everywhere. It seemed that for every 2 dozen or so blades of grass, there was a dragon fly perched on top of at least one of the blades.


Similiarly to the grass...frogs where hopping everywhere. We couldn't take a step without having a dozen frogs jumping either to the right or the left or directly infront of us. I'm pretty sure that there where a few that didn't make it out alive. We also noticed three coyotes chasing down the nesting birds and running through the grass being sure to stop and snack on a few frogs here and there.

After spending a few hours taking in the surrounding area and area wildlife, we spent another hour traveling on the rocky roads headed towards camp.

Wayne and Robin Fish Hunter Creek

Wayne and his wife Robin, decided to hike up to one of their favorite streams, Hunter Creek. They have been fly fishing Hunter Creek for about 15 years. The stream is in the MT. ROSE WILDERNESS AREA.



Wayne goes on to say, "We use a 4 wt.,7 1/2 fly rod, so that makes catching these fish a challenge and fun. It seems this stream never runs out of fish, but we didn't keep any today. These trout are very spooky, I tied up plenty of zug bugs, prince nymphs, hares ear, ect...the night before , they all seemed to work. "
