I've done some hunting this year but nowhere near enough. A buddy and I went out a couple of Fridays ago to try to fill my doe antelope tag. We sure had a great time and I even managed to get a doe with some unusual headgear; but the real entertainment came from a bunch of cattle on the ranch where we hunted. There was something about my van that must have made them think about food because when we stopped to look over a herd of antelope we were mobbed by the steers. There were cattle itching their heads on both the front and rear bumpers, and on all 4 tires. The van was rocking back and forth and I couldn't stop laughing. It was definitely a good time. This was my last hunt with this rifle; as several days later I shipped it to its new owner in North Carolina. Kid in college, rifle had to go.
