Wyoming doe tag paid off...

Man, it's been rough hunting up this this past week. I didn't draw the area I wanted & am familiar with, but the one next to it.
The weather had been wet, but unseasonably warm this year & the migration is still very sporadic.
I've been glassing my eyes out trying to find any antelope! Of course in the unit I wanted, the damn things are everywhere....

I managed to connect yesterday late in the afternoon with a group of 8 & selected the biggest of the bunch. Touched off the 6.5 at (I'm guessing) a hair under 300yds & lost her in the recoil. I honestly thought I'd missed & she'd bounded away. Turns out I hit her perfectly in the mid-shoulder & dropped her on the spot.

I have to report, the 140gn Berger VLD did an amazing job. Hardly any meat loss, no exit & her insides were soup. I was skeptical of a bullet that advertises the fact that it penetrates a couple of inches & then sheds it's jacket, fully fragmenting the core. That just sounded counter intuitive to me, but dang! This thing is devastating!

Nice looking Antelope!   Don't folks say something like, "the worst day of ____ is better than the best day at work".    Seems to apply here to me!   Safe travels.   :)
