I waited a loooong time to get a Ca. antelope tag, Zone 40/Lassen. Long story short. Spotted one way out, maybe 700+ yards. Started walking toward the buck while his head was down eating. If he started to look up, I froze! That buck must have thought I was a fence post or something, because this worked perfectly to about 250 yards when he took his last chomp of grass by a little seep in the middle of nowhere. The 25-06 laid him flat! This happened around Madeline Plains in 2007. They are a different critter to stalk/hunt.
