After we arrived, Fred and Dave and Greg started out after a nearby band of antelope while I set up camp and dug a fire pit, an essential part of antelope camp when dusk arrives and the temperature falls.

When the hunters arrived back in camp, Fred's spirits were high. "We didn't get an antelope," he said, "but I got around ok. I think I'm going to be alright on this hunt as long as I take it slow."
