I been chasing around these damn goats in eastern Montana for a few days and finally tipped one over. Stats are: 271 yds, Tikka T3x stainless .260 Hunter, 120 gr Nosler BT. over Varget and all of the exercise a 73 year old can tolerate. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/140402.jpeg)

That's a beautiful buck! Well done! I hope I'm still out chasing game in the snow at 73.

Congrats! Nice one. On my bucket list for next October.

CP: Great Buck there - congratulations.
Many years ago I bought a Remington 700 VLS in caliber 260 Remington and it truly is an excellent Antelope round.
By the way how do you appraise the Antelope populations this year over east?
The populations are rather strong here in SW Montana comparatively to years past - but we have no where near the numbers here that used to exist in eastern Montana.
Again congrats and good job.

I believe the Antelope numbers are fairly good in the eastern part of the State, but this purely a guess on my part.

Glad you had a good hunt. I was hoping for a tag this year but did not draw.
