MT pronghorn

Thanks guys. I can't believe no one gave me crap about the shoulders. Not much meat to start with and then I had to go and punch a hole through both of them. ooops....

Not going to give you crap for that...I pulled the same thing about a week ago, broke them both. Pretty rare, IME.

Better than drilling it right in the ass like a lot of folks do.

Spent Sat and Sun seeing very few lopes, but coyotes were running rampant and let me warm the barrel. I decided to try a new area this morning and found a few more, but nothing that got me real fired up. Cool deal is we got a record breaking snow last week and nearly everyone was either not hunting due to the mud or staying on the main roads. About mid-day I decided to take my rifle for a walk. I knew there were some lopes where I was headed, but didn't know if there was anything I wanted to take home. I ended up crawling into a few bedded pronghorn that ended up being a group of 37....until they left....then, 36.

I passed this guy by when I was trying to see through the sagebrush prone after crawling 100 yards. He then turned his head and I decided he was good enough for what I had been seeing. Shot him at 175 yards. Happy with the decision. Fun weekend.

This picture threw me off for a second, looked like it was laying in some soap. :)
 
Thanks. Very happy with what I found. Still miss the days prior 2011.

R7 antelope population, in general, is also no where near where it was pre-crash. Some areas are rebounding OK, others still seem to be in the tank. One can travel a lot of SE MT and see very few lopes in places where pre 2011 you'd see many. Slow rebound.........
 
Congrats! I love the first picture of you and the dog. He looks like he is smiling!!
