[QUOTE="lucky guy, post: 1687330, member: 17281"] Don't wait, plan it and go. There are plenty of online resources that will allow you to find a unit with public land and animals. They are not that hard to hunt, and of the 10 our group took last year only 2 were over 300 yds. Your cartridges are fine, don't over think that part, most anything will kill a pronghorn. Bench practice is fine, but field position practice is more helpful. And don't forget to put a cactus thorn or two in each knee just for a little realistic practice! I'm sort of kidding, my kit has knee pads and leather gloves for stalking. I'm going to try bird hunting pants this year but taking the knee pads. The shooting distances need not be long if you like to hunt on your feet. Stay off the ridge tops, walk around the bottoms of the knobs, etc. They will bust you in a second if you profile yourself. If it's windy I walk down the in the cuts, that's also often where they go when bumped. When they just seem to disappear 6-800 yds out, there is topography that they take advantage of. It's relatively high altitude and very dry, take and pump plenty of water. I've been at 5000' in WV so I know you have some altitude there, but still worth keeping in mind. Bring chains and a bumper jack for your rigs, doesn't matter what tires you have. It is fun hunting, beautiful country (not easy but beautiful). Take butchering gear, they're small and easy to take apart. All the markets have dry ice. If you're going to use a butcher most want the hide left on so they can do it right and not get hair all over the meat. lol If you have a bird dog you are driving through some great country to get there, and what's a hunting trip without a dog anyway? Good luck! [/QUOTE]
