Closest was within spitting distance of 200 yds. Then a few years later, one at a lasered 242 yds. That's about the extent of my meager antelope hunting experience. I couldn't bring myself to try 701 unless I had an awful lot of practice at that distance.

I dialed 3.2 mil up and .2 mil right (5 mph). Nailed him. https://thehandloadinglog.wordpress.com μολὼν λαβέ "Weatherby was too long so I nicknamed it "Bee""

The buck is not really all that. I was there mostly for the boy who was hunting his first time. The buck was shot on the ridge in the back and drug back. https://thehandloadinglog.wordpress.com μολὼν λαβέ "Weatherby was too long so I nicknamed it "Bee""

Looks like a great first hunt for that young man. Btw, I hope that drag wasn't as long as it looks. Since more is better as far as pictures on a thread go, I'll toss mine in as well. There was a lot of pressure in my antelope area (probably because the Mullen fire is consuming everyone's elk/muley hunting areas) so the antelope were skiddish and making themselves scarce, managed to get this guy at ~260 yds last Sunday though. Nothing special, but he's kind of wide though. Last edited by Gtscotty; 10/02/20.

I tell you when I was younger it always used to be about the horn now I really don't care that much I just like to hunt the excitement and I give my antelope away to disabled veterans in Cheyenne or the needy https://thehandloadinglog.wordpress.com μολὼν λαβέ "Weatherby was too long so I nicknamed it "Bee""
