Maybe change your location, Chris, it still says ORYGUN Coast Range......and that ain't where you are now.......

That’s where I’m originally from. I guess I’ll change it.

Don’t hang it, get the meat on ice as soon as a possible!

I’ve lived here almost 3 years , how many years till I’m a resident with u locals

You’re not officially a “resident” until you start complaining about the %^+%# Californians moving here and ruining our state.

That’s usually around the five year mark. By the 10-20 year mark you get perspective and realize everyone is a transplant at some point.

Hide if doesn’t hurt one bit can do it right there on the tail gate and let it start cooling less mess to take home. Also if you break it there you can leave it if you take it home then go dump it somewhere it’s littering

As long as temps are under 50, you're fine. I dry aged my last pronghorn for 3 days in temps between 40-50. It was excellent table fare.

Just cool it down quick. They're pronghorn, not elk. They cool quickly.

I killed my first one in 1979. I've dealt with a few. mtmuley

I bet that rum blows the hide right off them though and you don’t need to fiddle with skinning

I've killed quite a few with my RUM. It doesn't do any more damage than any other .30. mtmuley

Except one year, 2006 I think I hopped on the Berger train. Never again. mtmuley

The exit hole I blew out of the off side of an antelope with a 6.5 cm Berger was like nothing I had seen before. I don’t use the Bergers on animals anymore but kept a few boxes for SHTF because why not

I’m coming to Montana for opener after Elk and just happen to have an antelope tag , I’m not dragging with 2 rifles , so I’ll shoot antelope with my elk rifle …. I think people make too much a of a big deal of “oh that’s too big for antelope” . Good job Chris congrats on your antelope great story

 

[Little Big Man MT Chris]

Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement on this adventure, it was fun to share ! Antelope backstraps and tenderloin for dinner tonight!

Time to rest up before deer and elk in a week and a half
