[QUOTE="tracker12ga, post: 528609, member: 18446"] Maybe you are going for straight trophy book speed goat only. I dont know. But, seeing how this my first time out west and hunting antelope, I did alot of question asking on hunting forums and friends that have gone out there before. You are the only one so far that has suggested that I woud not be able to get closer than 600/700yds for a shot on a speed goat. I seriously doubt that I could get that Axis to perform to that range consistently even with the Bushnell 3200 fixed 10X scope on it. Maybe, I dont know. Most of the intell that I have gotten has pretty much if your stalking skills are ok and you use the terrain properly 300-400yd shots are quite doable. Guess I will see when I get out there. BTW, We are doping our weapons out to 500yds. Not all midwest average hunters sit in tree stands in a big hard woods waiting for the deer to show up for the 20yd shot. Most of the deer land I have here in the flatlands of Indiana are several hundered acre crop fields bordered by tree lines and/or ditch lines with very small squares of woods in the middle of the field. 200/225yd shots on whitetail with a smoke pole is quite common. 90% of my hunting is from the ground in a ditch or tree line. Or crawling along those ditch and tree lines getting close enough for the shot. I think my stalking skills will be just fine for WY. [/QUOTE]
