![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/55226.jpg) Would have posted this sooner but we've been busy doing things. Opening morning we found this buck on my Dad's property, we put three stalks on this guy until we were able to get a good shot on him. My Daughter has been using for the last four years a M700 Classic in .300 Savage with an older gloss Burris Fullfield 3-9X40 duplex reticle zeroed at 300 yards, and her load was manufactured by Double Tap using 125 grain Nosler BT at 3000 fps. Details of the shot are 350 yards from kneeling position rested on shooting shooting sticks. The hit was a little back but still managed to take both lungs with a very short death dash, leaving about a half dollar sized exit wound with a huge amount of blood and lung left behind. My Daughter has extreme confidence in this rifle and load, and is racking up quite a few one shot kills on game with it, unlike her old man who changes rifles and loads on a regular basis she has no desires to try anything different. Anyway, just thought I'd share the success my Daughter is having. Link to more pictures!

Great looking Antelope! I am envious. I'd love to shoot an antelope and I'd love to be able to be content with one rifle / cartridge. A 700 Classic chambered in 300 Savage is as cool as it gets.

WTG young lady!
Nice Pronghorn!
And I love to see the rifle pointed away from those in the pic with the bolt open.
I have seen 3 pics like this lately and all are youthful hunters.
I hope they teach us "oldsters" some new tricks"

Well done, congrats to your Daughter .

Hopefully she'll have another picture to put up next week. Didn't connect yet, but we're looking for a plains mule deer for her ML hunt. Saw about 25 deer and 4-5 were bucks while hunting pronghorn, but couldn't find a single buck opening weekend. Plus Grandpa needed help with the cattle so she put the hunt on hold to give him a hand. Season closes Sunday so there's still hope.

Congratulations to you and your daughter! There’s nothing quite like your child or grandchild having a successful hunt! memtb

Don't these kids realize you can't hunt any animal without hundreds of dollars spent on a complete camo outfit and gear?
