The first goat pictured was bedded down facing us and shot straight on with the 338-06 at 167 yards with a 210 TTSX... The bullet was recovered in the spine about midway on the goat... You can see it expanded nicely but lost one petal... The others were shot at 253 yds, 216 yds and 326 yds as they are pictured... The two shot with the 270 WSM's were using 140 gr. Accubonds and the 308 was using 175 gr. SMK's... Those 3 were all broad side shots and were pass throughs... I'm off to the High Ranch for the Elk/Muley bow hunts... I'll post results when we are done... Thanks for the kind words girls...

Just so happened to have the 257 wby in the truck and on the way to the range when the outfitter called me... 3 shots, and the ttsx printed a small group right where they needed to be! I am pumped!

I hunted 1964-74 when I lived in NM and was lucky enough to draw quite a few tags. Back then the DOW arranged for what ranch one hunted on. Shame now as a lot are leased to outfitters/guides. Probably a DYI pronghorn hunt is the easiest to do and most successful. If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
