MOUNTAIN GOAT TAG AFTER 33 YEARS!

[257 Ackley]

Congrats David -
Can I go along to carry your shooting iron ? Some of my favorite country to hunt. I have been putting in for sheep in that area for 12 years.

Man Dave, a dream come true.... 33 years. 25-06 will get it done.

 

[Hegland]

Congratulations man! Sounds like it will be a great time.

This hunt justifies that .280 you have been wanting doesn't it?

It certainly is occasion to splurge on a .280, or perhaps a Nosler Custom .280 Ackley?? :grin:

Not a better time to get your new 280! Although, your 25-06 should be just about awesome with the PT's as well. Scotty

257 yes, you can carry my iron! You guys are awful! 280 this, 280 that.......what's a guy to do? It is tempting but I think I'm going to have to stick to my guns :roll: for right now and just use what I have. Maybe next year I can get that 280 Remington. :lol:

Maybe next year I can get that 280 Remington.

Yeah, but you won't have a goat tag then. David, you know you want it. Now's the time.

The light bulb just went on! :idea: How about if I "help" my son get his new 300 WSM scoped up and use it if he'll let me? :grin: He'll be ready to go for fall, and I get to use his rifle!! Model 70 Extreme Weather SS, 180 gr. Accubonds, 4.5-14x40 Leupold B&C reticle... I think I'm having the vapors oh my! :mrgreen:

Actually, the 300 WSM would be a great rifle for goat. I know that bullets through the boiler will kill goats, but they have an incredible way of stumbling around until they find a sharp precipice to topple over. I like to see them put down quickly. You can get lucky and have a twenty yard shot, but it is also possible that you'll be forced to take a long shot. When the bullet connects, you want enough juice to put these critters down quickly. The 300 WSM would certainly fill the bill.

I think that is a great idea, I was going to mention it before, but I didn't cause I wasn't sure if the son would let you!!!

That would probably be a sweet set up for Goats in the Mountains. Scotty

David -
I think you should convince Scotty to let you borrow his 264 for a test!! :mrgreen:

I like your thinking! He probably would have to come with it though! :shock:

David, no need to convince me at all buddy. You send me an FFL and I'll send you plenty of ammo and a M70 264WM for that goat! It would be my pleasure! I will even make sure the B&C is properly shooting out to 600 for you! Scotty
