    Dads just can't help watching out for their children, regardless if those children are now adults - that's what makes great Dads special! So awesome to see father and son hunting together!!

    Your narration is always so calming, reassuring and interesting. Exactly why I have followed you all these years.... that and the unrivaled scenery that you capture of our Western United States. The Rocky Mtns., it's foothills and the high desert that surrounds them to name a few of the ridiculously gorgeous places you get to hunt.

    Good to see you in my state. Wow, I can’t believe that it took you 25 years to get a tag. I guess that is because you are out of state hunters and Utah does have a high population of pronghorns.
    Love to see a father and a son hunt. Those are memories that the two of you can talk about for a long time. Good luck tomorrow!
    Thanks for sharing.

    I tell you what I really appreciate the information you give your viewers I see pronghorns every day after work over here in the Texas panhandle they want an arm and a leg and the first pick of your labradoodle litter and I don’t have a labradoodle so I guess I’ll pay the 2800 dollar going rate for one. Thanks guys for what you do

    In Nevada, I find antalope in the trees up higher (6,500-9,000) quite often. I know of a place that has a big 8,500 plateau with 100's antalope running around up there until cooler weather hits in October, then they drop to benches off the top. Northern Washoe County, higher up on the plateaus there is a lot of antalope too, and they run around in the mahogany all day long. Guess I am giving away secrets lol. I just think outside the box of antalope out on flats, and valleys all day.

    • @Fresh_Tracks

      @Fresh_Tracks yeah, they are there acting 1/2 like mule deer. Eating, drinking, and bedding in the same places I have seen mules deer many times. It's like they are adapting to change and moving from areas they were for decades in the lower elevations.
