Forgot to mention (and maybe you're already planning this) but carry a small tarp or two with you in your pack. They don't weigh anything and make for a nice clean spot to quickly skin and quarter out the goat.
I'll second the motion of not overthinking or planning things. Be out at first light (rising sun makes them easier to spot) and be willing to hike. Nice thing about pronghorns is they're an easy pack out...
I hunt with just 10x binos and have never felt wanting. As an aside, last time I drew (we don't get preference points so it's poor odds every year) I took out the Tikka (.223) the week before opener to make sure I was ready for anything. Shot at ~ 600 yds and was well under MOA. Felt good and went out, spotted one, crawled a bit to a cliff face and popped one....at 156 yds!
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
