Scored a heck of a deal on an Angler Qwest center consol pontoon last fall. Been setting it up for trolling. Finally almost there after new rod holders, lithium battery, 70lb motorguide (hand remote), and a new 75hp Mercury caught the 7 year warranty sale they are currently having. She's ready...
He was a short bull with nice mass. He was 32"x7.5" bases. Saw several bigger but seeing and shooting are two different things. Lol
The bullet was a 168 grain Nosler Accubond LR out of a 7mm STW. Traveling around 3150 fps. Not very satisfied with what was left of that bullet around 78 grains...
I've killed elk, moose, caribou, that probably ranked as my top three. It's better than all those. I'd say somewhere between beef and moose to me. Just a nice texture to it and no smell really to be had while processing. Kinda odd considering they survive in the desert in such a dry environment.
Just returned from my OIL Oryx hunt in New Mexico. The hunt was much tougher than I anticipated. Those animals are much like pronghorn in a lot of ways. Seems they loved to get out there between 500-700 yards and move as you move along.
I ended up shooting my bull at just over two hundred yards...
