I just thought I'd let you guys know that my first Goat hunt was awesome! :grin:
With a load of 54.0 gr of H 4350 behind 140gr Accubonds from my Browning SS Stalker in .280 remington, I was pressed to make a 323yd shot. The rut was in full force near Douglas Wyo and the goats were very skittish.
I hit the Buck quartering away...the bullet struck the last rib...angleing forward, shredding the left lung and aorta...leaving with two mysterious exit holes on either side of the breast bone?
I dont have a good view of the horns which were 6 1/2" at the bases(a tad less than 16" beams) with really nice cutters. It was rough scored at 75".
I found the hunt pretty physically demanding but extremely rewarding!
Thanks to everyone for the info the past several weeks. :grin:
