We take 2 coolers each with a couple bags of ice and don't concern looking for another one until the first is properly taken care of. Pronghorn get a bad rap because of poor field care.


MAC is right on. Take your cooler in the field with you and bone them out as soon as they hit the ground. The meat is better than elk and deer any day. Speed goats we shoot are feeding off of wheat grain piles in north central Montana. Harvest time coincides with hunting season. Good luck on your hunt.
