Re: Pronghorn Antelope Addiction

PGS,

Man why do you have to tease like that. I think I would go broke with the taxidermy bill and run out of room to show them off.

The wyoming trips are by far my favorite hunt every year, been going down there 3 years now. Maybe I like them so much because lack of opportunity here in North Dakota for them, once every 5 years sucks getting a tag and season never opened this year.

Keep the pics coming guys.
 
Re: Pronghorn Antelope Addiction

Antelope taste awesome, I think it might depend on what they've been feeding on but i'll take an antelope steak over our venison up here. As for hunting them, the big ones for the most part seem to be pretty smart, but for the most part the ones we have hunted have been pretty easy to kill, but are yet to kill anything real big. The area we hunt isn't known for monsters and usually anything good is taken out right away. It seems the windier it is the harder it is to get close to them. But we hunt pretty lazily and drive around and glass herds until we find a good one and usually they are easy enough to get close enough to shoot.
 
Re: Pronghorn Antelope Addiction

I love the 243 for them.They are not very big or tough animals. I went with a bunch of guys this past september who was using 308's and a 338lm and with the match ammo they were using while certainly killed them easily it also blew softball sized holes in them.Nothing left on some of them but fajita meat. Took mine at 431 yards with the 243 with bergers and was DRT.
 
Re: Pronghorn Antelope Addiction

I use a 25-06 and it has killed 8 in 4 years, they are fragile animals and it does not take much to put em down. my buddy who lives in Wyoming uses his 270 wsm or 25 wssm or 243. the 270 wsm puts em down but as stated in another reply it kind of tears them up pretty good.

Here's pics of mine from this past year with my 338LM

Hell of a round for 30lbs of meat. Doing the grinding at the same time?

Nice stick though.
 
Re: Pronghorn Antelope Addiction

I will agree the 338 LM is a bit much. The top goat was shot at 630 yards and the other at 480 yards. The one at 630 yards was facing directly towards me..... I put it right through his chest, and it gutted him out his ass. Sure was a blast though... literally

Next year my goal is to take one around 900-1000 yards with it
