[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 247409, member: 8"] That is a normal sized doe for Wyoming. It probably weighs maybe 90-100 pounds. This is a 15 inch buck which is large for Wyoming and weighs perhaps 120 - 140 pounds. I don't really know because we never weigh them. At 535 yards the exit wound from the 200 gr Wildcat is still very large going from ribcage to rib cage but missing a rib going in.

The paunch puts up more resistance than lung tissue and the bullet really has something to work with then and gives a six inch exit wound. As I said earlier an antelope is not put together for toughness. It is flimsily constructed with a big hollow lung cage for speed and it rips open very easily.
