Ever get bored shooting at speed goats with regular (God's Chosen) cartridges? I did...again... so my 10 year old son Stephan wanted me to use the 416 WBY Mag for my third antelope tag, a doe tag. I was planning to use my 30-06 with 150 BT's but I said sure why not? Being a Crazy Greek explains it!
So my buddy Ray, Stephan and I headed west of Laramie Wyoming.
We located a mature doe 313 yards away. By the time I got set up for the shot she was 363 yards away. My 416 was stoked with BARNES X 300 grain with a stiff charge of H4350. Velocity at the muzzle is 3125 all day long as are the 1/2" groups at 100 yards.
I took the shot and the doe took off at a dead run. You can imagine my surprise! She ran 136 yards and dropped.
Upon closer examination turns out I hit her a little lower than I wanted. This is my fault due to the difference from 313 yards (initial reading) to 363 (when she stopped). Either way that 300 Barnes X did the job and beyond. Heart/lung--JELLO. Blood looked like it had been layed out with a pale!
Overall a great hunt!
PS: THE "BEE" STINGS!

I went antelope hunting this past weekend. My boy Stephan and I had a great time. I shot two speedgoats a buck and a doe. Hunting was actually the hardest ever I experienced as far as antelope go. They had been shot at all week and you could not get remotely close to them. It was getting frustrating so I just shot the first buck and doe that provided an oppurtunity. I was using my 7mm RUM SAKO 75 SS--the youngest of the twins--the 300 RUM being the oldest . 160 accubonds at 3205 fps was the load. I shot the buck while he was trotting from left to right. Range was at 409 yards. He was hit in the right shoulder and the exit wound (shown below) was behind the left shoulder. The doe was hit (lower chest) at 333 yards she ran a little and flopped. Pictures below me/Stephan and the dinky buck.

This is a pic of the fella and his elk that I took out thruogh the Outdoor Buddies program. It was his first elk and his second time ever hunting big game.

Here are some pictures of last weeks deer camp in the Southern Oregon Cascades. This is the type of county we hunt in. It's big county.
Here is the buck I thumped. 280 Remington CDL, launching a 150 Nosler Partition with 58 grains of H4831sc at about 2950 fps. The shot was probably about 75 yards standing off hand, slightly quartering away. I was wearing a blaze orange vest while hunting but had it off while working on the buck.
The photo below is my dads 4 pt hanging and my 4 pt waiting to get worked on.
