Here's my opening day pronghorn antelope, the best one I could find after looking over many bucks. At 3:30 pm I came across two bucks with a doe, with no interest in my presence whatsoever. All morning, everything was very spooky, but as often happens, by mid afternoon to evening things get calmer. I used my Bergara Mountain 2.0 rifle, shooting 143 gr. ELD-X bullets. Range was 308 yards. The Hornady bullets definitely get the job done, but with a bit more bloodshot meat and destruction than I care for. Think I will use the Barnes LRX bullets in the future, for everything.

Got the buck gutted, skinned, quartered, and on ice while still in the field, then got him cut up, packaged, and in the freezer this morning.

At 77 YO, being still able to successfully hunt on my own, and take care of my own game, is something that makes me feel very lucky!

Great job and nice buck!

Excellent

Beautiful buck and way to stay after it even at middle age!

NICE buck!!!

Congrats!

Nice buck.
Congratulations on a successful hunt.

Congrats, Very nice buck.

Well done, all around!

Great job! And yes that's something to be thankful for!

I hope I’m still able at 77, congrats.

Excellent.

Well done Bighorn.mb

Congrads, fine buck!

Well done all around!!! Good shooting too!

That's a great antelope. Congratulations

Yes, Saturday was the opener for pronghorns in Colorado. Congratulations on a successful hunt.

I shot my doe about noon. I've shot several good bucks and therefore no longer hunt them. I think the meat of a young doe tastes better. I save the backstraps and tenderloins and I cut the hind quarters into roasts. I'll be taking all of the loose meat to the butcher to be ground into burger.

Congrats.Yea at 77 you did good. I turned 80 this year an killed a cow elk hunting solo. Seemed to be lot more work than it use to be.

Nice buck! Way to get it done!

Congratulations, nice buck.

Congrats, sounds like a good day. Nice Buck, Nice shot. Good for you. I hope you have many more years of successfully hunting on your own.

Nice job! Congrats on getting it done at 77!!!

Fantastic, well done!

Nice antelope!

Hope to be doing the same when I reach your age.

Nice! Nothing like processing your own. I just hope I’m still alive at 77 and all the Busch and Nattie Ice I drank in my 20’s doesn’t come back to haunt me 😁

Well done! Congrats.
