Congratulations, rip...it is certainly fun. I like to try and see how close I can sneak, and then use the natural curiosity of the does to pull the buck in close. Enjoy the meat!

Overkill? Well kinda... But the beauty of pronghornin is you use what you wanta use! One guy here ran a 375 H&H on a PH doe recently just cuz!
You're in for some tasty eatin!

He's a beautiful antelope! Congratulations.
And, I think you had a perfect antelope rig there. The 7mm Mag is a great long-shooter and has dumped tons of goat meat onto the ground for many years.

Looks like a good time, what's your rifle? Thanks All,it was a great time for sure! Wyoming is beautiful country! My gun is a Remington Sendero 7 Mag. with a Zeiss 4.5-14 and a Ken-Ton Turret.I know it's over kill for the Antelope,so please don't beat me up for that. I've hunted antelope and shot them with 14 different cartridges over 37 years for a total of 59 head tagged. Yeah and used the 7mm Magnum on 2, it is way over powered for the job at hand if you don't keep your bullets in the ribs only, as is anything else you could use. I like eating them , so I keep my bullets for the most part thru the ribs for a double lung shot and away from the eating parts. A 22 CFR , the 6's and 25's are about perfect performance wise. When you use larger calibers (6.5's,.277's,.284's and .308's) the only real advantage I see is the potential for better trajectory from them on long shots. Your 7 sounds like a tack driver and that is it's real advantage on antelope. Nice buck and congrats. Magnum Man
