Saturday morning was opening day for antelope area 61. My son, grandson and I were hunting west of bairol and got a call from son-in-law, who passed on anatelope but was doing some scouting opening day of elk archery about 50 miles south of Rawlins. He had taken a 6x7 rag horn bull and wanted some assistance in getting him off of Springer Peak so the meat didn't spoil. We sent into resuce mode and headed his direction with a large cooler and 150 pounds of crushed ice. We made the save and had the elk of ice by 1 pm and at the processing center by 4 pm. Skipped antelope hunting on Sunday and went again Monday (Labor Day). Didn't see an obvious record head but did see three bull elk (6 point ) trying to hide in the desert and another herd of about 20 trying to cross the road without being seen. Is always a pleasure seeing the desert elk. Antelope season runs until September 30 so we have time to find what we want.

Last time I was out to Ft Stockton, TX went down towards the Big Bend area. Stopped a couple of times to look at the race goats on the sides of the high desert hills. They looked about as tough as one of those mesquite fence posts. Hope yours are more palatable where you hunt.
