Another Grandson's success

jm77 · Sep 27, 2023

Took my oldest grandson to the field in search of a pronghorn buck yesterday. He spotted a small group of does and sure enough a 4+ year old buck was keeping careful eyes on them. Turned out to be a shooter and after a half hour stalk, he made a great shot.

I'm sure he field scores 84+ like his cousin's buck did. Very proud of this boy too.

Great buck. Congratulations!

Not trying to stir up trouble, but is that a bullet hole in the left horn, or something else? Must of given that ‘lope a headache!

Nicely done young man. Love the retro camo as well. Haven't seen trebark since I left Missouri in 1996.

That's called sunlight. The boy made a perfect shot on the buck at 253 yds.

There’s some kind of mark on the inside of the left horn. It doesn’t really look like a pass-through bullet hole, but it sure ain’t sunlight. Look again!

Crazy, but he is fitting into my old hunting clothes and that shirt must have caught his eye. Goes well with the Carharts!

BTW that's a brand new hat of mine that he decided fits him better than me. I love it!

Same story for me as well. Oldest boy fits into pants and shirts I bought for sheep hunt a few years back. A hunt like that provided amazing motivation to slim down. Ship sailed shortly after hunt was over. Nice to get some additional use out of them.

If he is anything like mine, he is going to start eyeing your truck next.

Zoomed it right in and yes it is sunlight, very clearly.

Nice buck for your grandson, congrats to him.
Nice mass and good prongs.

Congrats on an awesome buck! From the reports we have been hearing I am pretty sure this might have been the very last one in the state!

This area used to have 1000 tags and now boosts 75. Pronghorn are few and far between compared to the past.
