[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1911629, member: 87243"] Not sure about hunting them there, but we kill a TON of goats here in Wyoming, around 10-15 a year. Wind is a big factor, also throw into the equation the fact that pronghorn are very small animals, with very small kill zones, and you want accuracy and good wind bucking. You can kill them pretty easy with a 22 cal, so I wouldn't be too concerned on energy. Just look at which gun has the least amount of wind drift. Our ranges have been from around 100 yards out to 980 yards, with the average being around 450 yards. However, if you are after one specific goat, sometimes the shots can stretch out. The farther shots we take are almost entirely bucks, with the majority of the goats shot inside 500 yards being does. [/QUOTE]
