Just got back from Wyoming. Took this 13.5" goat with my XP100R in 260 at 225yds. I tried several times to take him at 300yds but he wouldn't stand still for more than a few seconds.
This was 100miles west of Laramie, Wy at the base of the Cont. Divide and Bridger Peak. Great time. I WILL go back.

Congratulations! Nice buck and good shooting!

If you haven't had pronghorn meat before, you're in for a real treat. I like to marinade it briefly in a vinaigrette and then grill it. Yum!

Are you having the head mounted? It's the handsomest of the American mammals.

Sweeeeet!!! Thats a nice one!
I got my doe(got a buck with my rifle acouple hours before) with my S&W 629 w/open sights at 210 yards. I hunted unit 27. Its north of Cheyanne, 10 miles out of Bill in the Thunder National Grassland.
Don't ya just love that state!!!

Questor, I'm having a European mount done. If I go back and get a better set of horns, it might get shoulder mounted.
I will have to try the marinate. I'm thawing some ground goat for jerky right now.
I might put a roast on the smoker and slow cook it for about 8 hours in foil. That is how I cook my wild hogs I shoot.
