[QUOTE="C S Fever, post: 2385708, member: 80589"] Here in Saskatchewan we can’t use 22 caliber for game. Anything 6mm or up is great! Personally I have shot them with 26-06, 270, 280, 280AI. The 6.5 CM will be fine especially if you can shoot it well! 300 yards is a long shot here for Speedgoats! Use terrain and the guide should get you to under 200 in most cases. They are fun to hunt but not much meat! The locals where I used to hunt them skinned them like a rabbit and then gutted them! Less chance of getting the oils from the hair on the internal meat. The colloquial term for them here is stink goats! And they definitely have a different smell to them. But if taken care of they are some of the best meat you will ever have. The area we hunted them had grasslands with sage and prickly pear and grain land right next to it! So well fed and nice marbling. Most of my pics are not digital otherwise I would put some up of the skinning process! Haven’t hunted them in a long time since our populations went through a series of very brutal winters about 10 years ago, but they are starting to come back. Most of the herds are south of the border now into Montana. Have fun with it they are a great hunt but it can be over rather quickly! 😂 [/QUOTE]
