84”+ Wy speed goat (corrected 77”+ gross)

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!
Quite the unusual animal@ Nice work. Totally agree with your attitude - Book Shmook. It's the hunt not the 'glory'. I have a lot of 'book' trophies but you won't find my name or picture in one.
 
My taxidermist in Powell, Wy just sent me pictures of the finished mount! Think he came out pretty great.
