    Default Antelope Buck Down

    I had one day to get out and chase antelope this year. It was the last day of the season. We got out to my buddies ranch around 8:00 and I had this one on the ground by 9:00. I passed on a smaller buck which I was afraid I was going to regret. I usually try to live by the saying, don't pass on anything on the first day you would regret on the last one. But I usually don't have the strength to actually stick with it.

    After a little following them around. We were able to get in front of them on the back side of a hill we saw them heading towards. I was able to grab my shooting mat (lots of cactus) and lay down and get in a nice prone position. I handed my buddy my Bushnell 1600's and asked him to range him for me.

    610 he says, 600, 590 and he stops and turns perfectly broad side to me. BOOM (or more like SWISH with the can) and the buck picked his front legs off the ground a few inches and flops over DRT.

    The 142 SMK out of my .260 went right through the rear of his shoulder blade and took half is heart out. There were chucks of his shoulder blade laying on the ground underneath him. I would say the SMK did a great job on the thin skinned pronghorn. But that dead horse has been flogged enough.



    You can just make him out to the right and back from the bush in the middle of the picture.

    Hey guys. Thanks for the kind words. Probably not going to mount it. A bull elk on the other hand.......

    Graves, I highly recommend the AX. It rocks.
