I drew but one tag this fall for hunting. I had 4 bonus points for pronghorn buck antelope in Wyoming and I drew a tag. I am glad to have some kind of game to look forward to.
I actually like hunting antelope as you usually drive around a lot, glass a lot, even with a spotting scope, and then when you see one worth going after you park far away and try and stalk as close as you can for a shot. Antelope have 6X powered eyes and you have to be rather sneaky to get a good shot. I have had reasonable success in the past. I hope my luck continues ? !
I think I will load up my .300 Remington Ultra Magnum with 150 grain Nosler ballistic tips and practice at 350 yards or so. I have used this load two other times with excellent results -- both one shot kills.
I bought an over the counter spike elk tag for Utah. I am hoping to see one but who knows? My son drew a cow elk tag and we are going elk hunting together hunting in early October. Then in later October my Wyoming antelpe tag is valid so maybe I can talk him into going with me and helping me out to find a speed goat in Wyoming.
I can practice now for some long shots. I really enjoy practicing. My eyes are not what they used to be but maybe I can find an old antelope with eyes as poor as mine.
Wish me luck, I will keep you apprised of my progress.
