Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game 2nd's Dink'olope

Here's a picture of my antelope that I took this last weekend. (I don't know why the pictures are so hard to see. Guess I need to invest in a digital camera!!!)
<br>
<br>This was by far the largest buck that we saw. The drought here in Southeastern New Mexico has definitely hurt horn growth this year. The ranch that I was hunting has consistently produced 15"-16" bucks in the past few years, but this is the only legal buck that I saw all weekend!!! He went right at 14".
<br>
<br>I shot him at about 225 yards with a .264 Win. Mag.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Hopefully, my picture taking will improve!!!

Congratulations on a nice animal.

<br>What kind of bullets did you use?

Uuuuggghhh. I had to admit it, especially on an Internet forum. I just laid my hands on the rifle, so I had to use the Remington 140 grain factory loads.
<br>
<br>Hopefully I will be able to develop some loads before I get to use the rifle again.

2nd_Amendment,
<br>
<br> Sounds like you had a good hunt. I am counting the days until I can go Antelope hunting here in MT. I can't wait!

2 we'll forgive you.

<br>I blasted a few whitetails with core-loks before using my own reloads.

Congrats on the nice speed-goat! You made my morning! I leave for west Texas tomorrow to try for mine.
<br>
<br>Good Hunting,

Bobcat and Hudge,
<br>
<br>Good luck on the goat hunts!! By the way Bobcat, I killed this 'lope within spitting distance of West Texas.
