This was my 1st pronghorn. The hunt didn't last long. I was lucky enough to take him a couple of hours into the hunt on opening day. I hope the picture works.  | ||

Thanks for the compliments, as for the rifle and range.. I was shooting a 300 ultra mag. with 180gr bullets. Nothing special, just factory rounds.I know it's a little overkill, but I use one rifle for all my traveling. He wasn't that far out, I shot him at 100 yards. I got lucky he was about 400 yards away and ran right at me and stopped. go figure.. | |||

Nice buck! If you're on decent land, east plains CO goat hunts are usually not a long process lol My first one a few years ago was down, gutted and being loaded into my trunk by 10am If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter! | |||

Thanks again for all the compliments MileHighShooter: your right about that I'm amazed at the amount of quality animals out there. I look forward to going back. SageBrush Burns: We were hunting about 1 1/2 hours East of Colorado Springs. I think we took ?Highway 91? straight out of the Springs, there wasn't much out there, just one small town if you wana call it that. Bob in TX: Ha ha yeah they would have to put up a pretty high fence to keep me out. I truly love hunting and fishing in colorado. I also got to do some good trout fishing in 11 Mile Canyon. Good luck on your future hunt Jay | |||
