Thanks everyone. Been sorting through everything since I got back. I've also just about finished a story for the magazine so I won't go into too much detail here (like the dent the antelope put in Fred's brand new truck). Since I shot it on the last night at 7:20 PM I thought about titling the story "Last Chance Buck", but I think I'll go with the title, "It's Not Over Till the Fat Feller Sings" (me of course being the fat feller).

Wonderful hunt. Michele and Fred Eichler are first class and run a first class operation. As I told them the hunt would have been great even without the antelope. The antelope was just icing on the cake, but I have to admit it was pretty good icing.

Tomme, you did not have to tell everyone that you shot it after Fred hit it with his truck that night

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that read between the lines on his story.......

This should make a great story.

Tomme · 09-01-2010, 08:04 PM

Dent is in the left rear panel, but those GMCs do back rather quickly.

axisbuck24 · 09-01-2010, 09:19 PM

Oh boy, I can not wait to read the story.

That ain't the half of it but I won't spill all the beans! Just sum it up that Tomme is one

Lucky B@#T%$D!!

OK, Cameron has the story.

Well I have to bow to the master. Congrats on a great trophy Tomme. I had my opportunity at 25 yds. on the first day and came away with hair and meat but no blood. Mike Palmer and Michele both got goats just after Tomme got his too.

I agree with Tomme. The Eichler's have a first class operation and I have already booked my revenge, I mean return trip! But for every dark cloud there is a silver lining. I left Fulldraw with a brand spanking new custom built Palmer Fred Eichler Traditional Slam recurve bow and I love it!!! Shoots so sweet I used it for the next 3 days to elk hunt. Didn't kill anything but time there either but it was just what I needed.

BOBSTER · 09-08-2010, 08:03 PM

Sorry to hear that Jack, guess that makes it a lot easier to go back when you still need to get a goat. Cannot wait to see the new bow. Bob

Tomme · 09-08-2010, 09:22 PM

What do you mean easier if you didn't get one? I'm going back even after getting one, but then I love the pain of sizzling in a tent blind on the prairie for 15 hours. Just color me masochist. Bring it on. I had really hoped that Jack would get a second opportunity, but you know how that goes. I wish we could get an all LSBA group up there. It's a cheap hunt for the quality of game, but not in terms of the $$$$
