Let's hear your story! Nice buck, congrats!
drew a hard access unit and as everyone here advised "do your home work and scouting " I did and it paid off.
day 1 - 14 hours scouting and discouraged lol lot of pronghorn but not on public land but was able to eliminate areas that wasn't very friendly to pronghorn or hunters.
day 2 - arrived at first section at daylight started glassing. on second pass picked him up bedded in sage about 400 yards out.
I started my crawl and about 100 yards in he stood up and locked in on me .
I set up with bipod ranged 295 and pulled trigger ... Click .. it seem you need to engage bolt all the way for it to fire. (I was a little nervous )
put another round in pulled the trigger clean fire and clean miss.
pronghorn ran in circle and stopped .
I relaxed took my time and pulled trigger the third time and saw him run off. But.. I heard my buddy yelling back at the truck .
he was saying he saw the puff of hair blow out when bullet hit.
I found him 50 yards down a hill from where he was standing.
I cant wait to do it again next year
and thank you again to everyone here

A pronghorn is a quintessential western animal. I wouldn't think there are many on the walls down your way. Nicely done.
