I've been archery hunting and hunting with the kids the last few years so haven't posted/shot much. This year I got a Colorado antelope tag and turned it into success.
Private land hunt where several hunters had persued this buck but he lived on a big flat cactus pasture and getting inside 300 proved to be a significant challenge. I was offered the opportunity to hunt the area. His waterhole was about 500 yards from a big ridge. I set up and waited. On day 2, he rounded up the does about 1200 yards away and started pushing them to water mid morning. It took them over an hour to move 700 yard and it was actually more nerve racking than having to set up quickly as there was a lot of time to think about what could go wrong. Finally he made it to the waterhole….and took his last drink.
— 528 yards
— 28 Nolser
— Berger 180 VLD Hunting at 3060 FPS
— Mid shoulder impact, no exit, jacket lodged in offside shoulder.
— Hydrostatic shock, never took a step.
