Pheasant and antelope season both opened last Saturday. They open on the same Saturday in October every fall. I've had antelope tags but I usually find some excuse not to hunt them. My pastor, his son and I put in as a group this year and were supposed to hunt a private ranch on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but a family emergency prevented them from going. They were my access to the ranch, so we talked about going at a later date.
I considered just going into work on Tuesday since Monday was a Holiday, but decided that I already had time scheduled off and I wanted to hunt. I made hotel reservation in a mom and pop in Eastern MT, loaded up a bird dog, two shotguns and a rifle before heading east Sunday afternoon.
I didn't have much opportunity to hunt Sunday, but did let Finn out for a run at some block management about an hour before dark still a couple hours from my destination.
There was a nice sunset as we walked back to the truck even with the cloud cover.
