4 Antelope down!

[FOTIS]

I went hunting goats today with my boy Stephan. He was using hos 270 Winchester in the form of a Savage 111f.
130 Ballistic tips at 3080 fps with H4831.
I was using my Ruger #1 25-06 with 110 AB's at 3265 fps with RL 25. To make a long story short,

Stephan shot his nice size buck 247 yards double lung. Exited fully.

My buck was taken at 348 yards shot facing me . Shot went base of neck. Will try to dig it out tomorrow.

Then I used Stephan's 270 for this small doe at 255 yards (double lung) for jerky.

Then Stephan shot his doe at 155 yards. double lung fully exited again.

Over all a great day.!

Fotis,

Congratulations to both Stephan and yourself on a very successful goat hunt. You both did great and shot some very nice looking animals. Stephan's buck sure has some nice cutters.
Nicely done fellas.

[owenv]

Nice shooting Pop. Stephan seams to be a chip off the ol block!

 

[remingtonman_25_06]

Congrats to both of you POP!! Good shooting by the both of you.

Them 130 BT's seem to work ok dont they?

Did you get a chance to recover that 110g AB?? Was it a bang flop??

 

[TBASTIAN]

Congrats on the 'lopes POP! Looks like a great day with your son.

 

[FOTIS]

Remmy It was bang flop like I have never seen before. Total penetration, followed the bullet path during butchering...no dice.

 

[remingtonman_25_06]

Well dang it!! I wanted to see the 110g AB, lol. Oh well, means it did its job right!!

Gotta love the 25-06 for a goat gun.

Way to go Pop! My father in law from LaGrange took a doe lope. I don't think he has hunted for 30 years. So at 70 years old with 4 heart bypasses he gotter done. Think of all the years you have to hunt those critters...
