[QUOTE="Panhandlin Pat, post: 3100479, member: 124042"] I was out trying to shoot some pigs some years back close to Palo duro. Was wearing my dirty blue jeans and flannel shirt, who knows what I’d done that day! I took a trail that dipped off to the rim of the canyon, then snaked around to a game trail that fell off to a shelf a few feet down. I took a few steps past some cedar, and heard something big down the trail raking a tree. There were four of us that day, the others were 30-50 yards behind me, and I remember one was taking a leak. I took a few more steps and slipped over a bit, rifle at the ready. There I came face to face with a big aoudad! I centered my reticle on what I thought was his throat and snapped a shot off. He collapsed without a quiver! 308 with a 168 grain amax penetrated out from his brisket to his hind quarter. Bullet fell out while I was caping him. I couldn’t believe it. We’d seen those things before but they were incredibly wary. Couldn’t believe I’d killed one feet away (I’m guessing 10 or 11) wearing dirty farm clothes while my buddy was ****ing.
