How about the story on the Antelope? That has some unique characteristics. Hopefully it was put on the wall!

That's from a few years ago in Wyoming. Fellow member huntr, a friend, and I, bought 4 does tags each for private property in unit 72. She had cool horns like a spiders fangs, and was shot at around 400 yards with a handloaded 168 gr bthp. Seems all the does had horns in this area. Just had to make sure there wasn't a black patch on the side of the jaw/head area.
And sadly no. I had cut it for a euro mount and before it got boiled a neighborhood mutt running loose musta got it, or a coon or skunk.

BTT. You guys been putting any new ARs together? I finally got my favorite one set up how I like it now. Trying to track down my camera in my hunting gear and then I'll get some pictures up. Also, decided to try out a PSA upper and got one of those on the way. Looking forward to trying that one out.

You guys take way better pictures than me, but here are a few: 16" 5.56 with Leupold Mark AR scope, and a PSA 308 (have since mounted another Mark AR scope on that one)

How are you liking the PSA 308 build?

It has pros and cons; overall I'm pretty happy with it, especially considering the price, but some of the issues might be a deal breaker for other people.
The upper/lower fit is looser than I hoped for, the bolt catch hole is too small for the roll pin, and the chamber was a bit tight. PSA probably would have fixed the chamber, but as a gunsmith, I just did it myself.
It shoots well though; initial load workup this weekend delivered several groups under 1/2" with 150gr and 168gr BT's, and reliability has been 100%.
All said and done, I've got a sub-moa 308 AR that's reasonably light weight (10.2 lb with a 3x9 Leupold installed), produces about 150 fps higher velocity than my PTR-91, and cost just under $1000 before the scope.

Right now I'm running Magpul open sights (flip ups) but want to put an optic on it. Not really sure what to get because I want to use it for hunting as well as HD.
I don't reload so right now I'm shooting factory stuff, though I have been seriously considering taking up reloading because my wife loves to shoot and I get the feeling once she shoots this AR, she's going to want one of her own. Thanks for the compliment bear.
