84"+ Wy speed goat

[Mike Matteson]

Broke in my new 6.5 PRC I built on 3 Oct. This was a DIY hunt on BLM land. Conditions were horrible with all the rain the area received. Lots of area were inaccessible due to the muddy conditions. Shot was 585 yards with a 6.5 PRC shooting hand loaded 143 eldx's @ 3083 fps. DRT results. Buck is short and stocky, 14 1/2 on hook side and 12 5/8 on other side, but has lots of mass 7" bases and 6 7/8" prongs. Taxidermist green scored gross of 84 6/8" but has alot of deductions and may not make 80" after drying. Dont matter I could not be happier with him!

Nice buck

Nice! I love mine too had one on my 7mm mag. And thought it was perfect for me so I put one on that PRC. Never had the need for the illumination yet its plenty bright in shooting hours.

Congratulations. Great story, photos and gun/ballistic description. An amazing buck being he looks so young. An old taxidermist and friend told me when looking for a book antelope, "no hook, no book". Too bad his other side didn't have the same hook. It looks like it may have been broken off?

Solid work.
