So we're after pronghorn antelope in northeastern Wyoming this weekend. I have to describe it as a target-rich environment.
330 or so yard shot on a nice buck. He ran about about 50 yards and folded up.
Our hunting buddy (who is an outfitter in the area) said that's the first antelope he's seen taken with a black rifle. (That made me feel pretty good.)
Before we set up on the buck, he said he was thinking about building a Grendel. I think this may have convinced him to go ahead with it. I'll try to get pictures up when I get back to my own internet connection.
That said, I don't want to overstate my shot. A buddy on the hunt had just folded up another buck at 450 yds with a 243 Win. So far it's been an epic outing. We're going back out in the morning for our third group member to get his goat.
