[QUOTE="Guy M, post: 1255533, member: 8622"] I'll admit that I'm not a serious antelope hunter. I love those critters! Love watching them, and love cooking, serving and eating them. For some reason I've never gotten fixated on shooting a "big" pronghorn. So, while out mule deer hunting in Wyoming... Antelope tag in pocket of course... This little fellow made the mistake of providing me with a near-perfect shot opportunity. He was crossing from right to left, slowly. Coming out of a draw and heading into the flats, at about 245 yards. Perfect backstop, safe shot, easy shot. Why not? So I dropped to prone with the bipod out, left the scope on 2x, put the crosshairs on his chest and sent a 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip destroying the top of his heart, also breaking a leg. That settled things very quickly. A case of the .30-06 being plenty of gun.

So far, the backstrap steaks have been delicious, as expected. Regards, Guy [/QUOTE]
