Good gosh. Next thing you know someone will take a speedgoat with a TAC-50 at a mile. :rolleyes: :D Hey, nothing wrong with fawns. Tasty. Goat veal. I wouldn't worry about any failure to kill an elk with that hand howitzer. Sometimes bigger ain't better on bullet weight though.

Great story, I only had to carry out a fawn for about a mile and a half one year, no comparison. But even that was enough to persuade me to choose to hike back to get the buck truck next time! This year we hunted right at the first of October, and again after the blizzard (central Wyoming) had...

Well, serves me right to not try these out at the range. They would not *quite* chamber correctly. Probably just a bit long COAL. So I might just be pulling them apart and trying H335 or something. I should probably make a dummy round without primer or powder just to check out chambering and...

I have an Oly .223 AR-15 1:9 stainless and am trying to find a good boolit and load for varmint & target. Going to Wyoming antelope hunting tomorrow, so range time is not an option though I know I should do it. Bringing the AR for some prairie poodles post-goat. I have some once fired PMC...

At the range Sunday a fella was shooting A-max's (7mm IIRC) and mentioned they don't hold together well much above 3000fps - any truth to this? Seemed strange to me.

Wow, I wouldn't HESITATE to flip off the safety. And then retire the nice buck who currently adorns my wall above the mantle. Antelope are good eating IF you don't ruin it. I've seen a lot of styles of handling and cooking the meat, and most make it ... um, not as good an experience as it...

I sure would take the shot. I'm not as picky as some I know but I would be proud to have him over my fireplace. Couldn't ask for a better shot, too. Would be nice to see him from the front but sometimes you don't have that luxury.

No doubt. Last year I stalked a troop of does (I am primarily a meat hunter and had already gotten my buck) and crawled up behind a bush - ideal spot about 275 yards out. Ideal except for the wind, about 30 mph steady crosswind from the west, with stronger gusts to 50. Wyoming 'breezy' in...

Great stories. I can see it in my mind's eye. Turbogoat hunting is definitely my favorite. Taking my wife and son to Wyoming to plug some goats in about a week and a half. I too like the meat, and if you drop it fast, dress it carefully and chill it quickly it tastes like fine venison. The...

Wyoming generally, around Kaycee, though access there is drying up and getting quite expensive. We had free access, but some morons dumped antelope carcasses in the rancher's pond (:mad:!!!!!!), and that was the end of that. I grew up on a Kentucky horse farm, so I understand his reaction. I...

Hi, first post. Been turbogoat hunting for about 8 years, really the first and favorite big game (easier on the knees than elk) for me. Shooting .300WSM in a Browning A-bolt, Synthetic Stalker. I like the shootin' iron, it brings home the meat and is tough. Burris 4-14x 50mm ballistic plex...
