bushy antelope and chased them with the car - I jumped out in front I rolled over my sun umbrella and came up kneeling on both knees. Mac got his car into our line of firing mistakes we got none. Run down the road again saw a single antelope. I went out a shot and it fell dead in a little later I ran down anti- elope and run them jumped from car at 20 yds. I began firing- the three got well away but the last one put up her belly - she ran across my front of me. After 3 shots I dropped her at 422 yds. Passed off. We went on for short distance on road and saw a single antelope It ran over a hill where we followed in road a big herd - We ran them with car at 40 mi per hr. They turned one bow - they shot me both legs I ran on, with a hard chase with car at 35 mi per hr. To catch up with her she was running at least 25 mi per hr on 3 legs. The same thing happened a little later when we found another herd and I broke two legs before we could finally catch her. The plains was alone.
