Speed Goat tags filled (with pics)

Not my best antelope, but my wife's first and a great time was had. She got hers first, and as it was pushing 80°F I took the next one I saw so the meat wouldn't spoil. Her .257 Roberts barked once at 327 yards and my '06 did the same at 410.

They look big enough.
But why'd ya' shoot them?
You could have ridden them home and saved a lot of hiking.

Noah, I don't think a pronghorn could haul my flabby self...a moose or Clydesdale perhaps, bit not an antelope.

Congrats.

That's my favorite meat, after elk.
We haven't had much luck drawing tags in the last 3-5 years, though. ...Even for does.

Nice animals, and the company is even better.
