It became personal with this buck when I managed to stalk close to him twice during bow season and missed twice. First time I rushed and second time I ranged 40 while he was still bedded and I was low z probably picked range from some grass. It was 55, not 40. Arrow went under him.

On the day of gun opener I saw some nice bucks but I wanted to try to get this one first. I saw him in the same area and managed to get at around 100-125 yards. My 44 mag BFR did a great job. Heart shot and he didn't go 10-15 yards before he collapsed. It ended up being 109 yards.

Congratulations on your revolver kill! Not exactly an easy task…..good look'n "speed goat"!

My first buck antelope was also a revolver kill. I took him right at first light, misjudged him terribly! I had him mounted, forever to remind how "not" to hunt antelope! memtb

Congrats, on an awesome buck I love antelope hunting I have shot a few but not with my pistol
I'm setting up my TC Contender pistol .41mag to do just that!
Good luck and Happy Hunting
