Population management ibex hunt

[captacademy]

This past weekend I was selected to participate in a NM population management ibex hunt in the Florida Mts. My buddy Wes and I arrived early in the morning and started our long trek up the mountain and after glassing for several hours we found a suitable ibex to harvest. Wes ranged the ibex at 825 yards. I dialed my dope and held 1.5 mils to the left for wind. I then sent the 140 grain Berger Hyb on it's way and it found it's mark behind the shoulder. The ibex went down and the real work began! It took us several more hours to retrieve the ibex and pack it back to the truck. Lots of bruises and cactus pricks to show for our work! However, great memories were made!

Nice going, Capt! What did that critter weigh?

Glad that it turned out good for you! Looks like you were on the south east side of the mountains. I have an archery tag in October.
