Congratulations on a really nice buck! You are "the man" for crawling in that cactus, ha. I have "missed" more antelope than any other big game! Thankfully, I've never "wounded any". That confounded invisible wind "out there" has been my biggest nemesis. Other times, I had the wind "blowing me around" while trying to shoot! I still think that a bullet that has a high b.c. helps though.

Dang OSUSig, You should have given me a heads-up and let me know you were in Wyoming. Might have been close enough to meet.
Where'd you get the goat?
If you want to come back let me know first. I may be able to give you some tips, depending on what area you draw the license for.

Sorry Steve. I just wasn’t thinking. I was north of Gillette in Area 1. I’ll do a better job of communicating next time.
How close to Gillette are you?

Oh Heck, I could not have helped you up there anyway. I never go that far north for antelope. I am in the Wind River Valley in the center of Wyoming. Sometimes I have to go 5 minutes to my hunting grounds ---- and the "long distance travels" for me are up to an hour. Best ground for larger horns are "far away" and I have been known to drive an hour for those, but my meat goats are usually shot within a few minutes of where I live. This one was shot about 1 hour away. ![[Linked Image from live.staticflickr.com]](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48767963306_b469852064_k.jpg) IMG_20190918_192803902 by .com/photos/156296479 N08/]Steve Zihn, on [bleep]

Congratulations on your hunt. We hunted 73 west of Casper. It was awesome.

I always hit the ones I get with one shot. All the other shots are to herd them to where I want them for the kill shot...honest... NICE goat there!

Pronghorn is wonderful table fare, too.

Is it hard to get so much as a decent antelope? I never did it and dont have any idea where to start , except for Wyoming.

Congrats on a pretty goat!
Hey, we've all missed. Anyone who says they never have, is either new to hunting, or a liar.
And I never lost a fist fight either...:) Nice work! You got it done.
