    Default Couldn't be more proud... My son's 1st atelope and at 400 yards



    Antelope season was over in less than an hour this year. Was doing my yearly hunting assist for antelope and my son drew his 1st big game tag.
    This buck walked withing range and most of the other hunters didn't feel comfortable taking a shot because it was too far. My son says, "I can make that shot." I said take it.
    He asks what his hold should be and let it fly. I look over and he is jacking another round into his bolt gun and I told him that it dropped like a ton of bricks.

    Lased off the distance and it was just shy of 400 yards!

    Many fist bumps yesterday!
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.

    Well done dad.

    Congrats to son. Speed goats are fun and they taste good.

    Bonus on making the shot the others chickened on.

    This hunt will not be forgotten.

    Congrats. It's always a great feeling to have a son you are proud of. Hell of a good shot and you can tell him I said that. An antelope isn't a very big target at that distance.

    No I built him a .270 so he could hunt most of Colorado's big game with the same rifle.
