[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1338812, member: 30902"] I don't remember one ever jumping a fence but I have seen them jump water, rocks, deep/steep draws etc. I've also see them jump straight up in the air four or five feet when spooked by a coyote or big cat that snuck up close enough for a charge. Should have said this earlier but three of the most ideal rifle calibers for them are the .264wm, .270wm, and 7mm STW and the 7mm Rem is right in there with them. Beyond 600yds though the 7's and .30's really begin to separate themselves from the rest of the herd just simply due to retained velocity and energy. I have seen one kill at over 800 with a .264 but that's definitely the exception rather than the rule. If Mario and I can get it together I think we're going to have to find a way to head back to NM for Antelope next year. That's something I really do miss. [/QUOTE]
