Hunting the Antelope on the Great Plains
A first person account details a hunt for antelope across the Little Missouri region. The narrator describes stalking bands, near-misses at close range, and dramatic chases as antelope respond with wary, disciplined maneuvers. He recounts tough terrain, quicksand and mud holes, hardships of crossing creeks, and the routine of camp and meal at day’s end. He also notes the animals’ herd behavior and leader dynamics, plus a successful long shot that brought down a fine buck. The narrative ends with reflections on the hunt’s elusive outcomes and the occasional lucky kill.
