Both of our teenagers have doe antelope tags here in Northern CO that are good on private land through the end of the year. My daughter didn’t have school on Friday, so we ran out to check on an old beef-rancher friend of mine, and see if there were any antelope on his 3500+ Acres.
She shot this HUGE doe at about 275 yards wife Momma’s 20” barreled Tikka CTR chambered in .260 Rem. Load was 130 Accubonds over 44 grains IMR4350 for about 2800 fps. First bullet hit just a touch low.... we caught up to her, and the second round ended the Game poste haste.
This is her first antelope.... and she was overjoyed at the 4” ivory tipped horns. I’ve already got the skull stripped, and it’s whitening now.
To me.... there is no greater joy than sharing time outdoors with my kids. We each only get to shoot one first deer, or elk, or whatever..... but we can share in the joy of many firsts. Pass it on fellas.
