Nice!
Did you kill it on public or private?
I'm looking at going next year and ive been seeinf where 38 is easy to draw but hard to find a place to hunt because its mostly private ground.

And I had 3 points.

SS... did you happen to measure that speed goat? I'd be interested to hear the numbers.

Nice pronghorn! Love some antelope fajitas.

I didn't. Wouldn't have a clue how to measure one. I passed on probably 20 til I got on him. He stood out over the rest. Everyone in camp said he was "well above average". The taxidermist said he was 5 years old.

Hivernan and I are done in Wyoming. Had a good time, but we found out that when you go later those public land critters are SPOOKY. We had antelope spook at the sight of the truck several hundred yards out, even if you didn’t stop.

Hivernans was about 1.5 miles back. We had spotted a lot of them back in there the first day, so we walked in and got back there early day 2. We spotted 2 bucks on the next ridge and made a long stalk. He made a 300 yard shot, but the buck got up out of his bed and ran over the hill. I thought he missed, but he was laying dead when we went to check.

Bad snow and wind blew in the night of day 2, and we relocated our tents to a hotel. We drove out Tuesday without much optimism. We often could only see a few hundred yards, and when we saw antelope, they ran off. We just got lucky… we saw a big group in range of the road and they seemed so tame we thought it must be private, but it was public. We snuck back over there, and my buck was 25 yards away when I peeked over the hill.

Had to spend an extra day at the hotel when the highways were closed. Good thing we travel with extra rations of whiskey.

Congratulations to both of you.
