During an antelope hunt in Wyoming, Chad Hood ran into some pretty wild weather. Speaker2: It never stopped blowing out there. The weather was very unpredictable at times. There was one time, and actually it was the build up for me getting the antelope. Both of my buddies had gotten antelope in previous days and so it was hot there. It was unusually unseasonably hot, like mid to upper 70s and I was out for the whole day. Unfortunately, where we were out there, there's no cover. There's not a tree to be seen anywhere. I was starting to run out of water. I had to lay against the big cattle trough to get some shade, and it was smelly. And there was flies and cow pies everywhere, and it went from pretty unruly temperature, like hot to you could see the storm front coming up on me. There was this wall of clouds and there was lightning and it was ground strikes and you name it. So I called the guys up. You need to come out to this spot and I'll meet you there. I got to get out of here. They get electrocuted, and I'm hauling butt to get to the meeting point. And I could see them coming in the distance. I was walking through this draw, and this antelope pops up and starts running, and it stops about 100 yards out. I shot it worked out pretty good. Even though there was this massive storm barreling down, I figured we could probably cut it up and get it in the car pretty quick, and it worked out really well. But I think if someone was going to go to Wyoming, they really need to be prepared for constant strong winds. Speaker1: Along with lightning, rain and heat.
