Sniper!

Talon was envied by many this year when he drew a rifle antelope tag in Arizona! It seems that all hunts are getting harder and harder to get drawn for, but antelope definitely is one of the hardest. Needless to say, Talon was very excited (and so was Richard)! Richard is to the point that he gets more excited for his kids (and wife) to get drawn than himself.

Well, they both went out together on the hunt and had an enjoyable evening together out in the woods . . . getting to visit around the crackling campfire. They hunted one full day and were unsuccessful. The second evening brought better luck and a very nice antelope. We're going to have to give this kid a new nickname . . . maybe dead-eye, long-shot, one-shot, sniper or something like that. Talon shot that buck at 550 yards with a .270 in one shot! That is an awesome shot! Richard was very proud too, of course. The score was 78 5/8"
