Wyoming Antelope (Video)

Guest
Just got back from Wyoming with my buddy Scott Simons. We hunted three days and were able to sort through a few hundred Wyoming speedgoats and come up with a couple of great bucks.
The first group we spotted over a mile away. After some time behind the big glass I opted to get in and get a closer look at them. With light fading and the herd across an open sage flat we set-up for the shot.

I ranged the herd at 779 and dialed in elevation adjustments on my Zeiss Conquest 6.5x20 50mm scope. After a doe cleared the buck I sent a 180 gr Scirocco through his vitals. He went down within about 5 seconds.

The buck isn't very long but has great top and base mass. Great prongs and a cool look to him.

The next day Scott was able to hike about three miles and get a 450 yard shot at his buck. The buck has an awesome frame and a gnarly little kicker.

We were very fortunate considering they were leftover tags and we've never set foot in the unit before.

Thanks in advance for watching!

Great shot!
 
Great bucks. Both have good mass and prongs. You guys did well for a unit you never set foot in before.

Mine grossed 80. 7" on the D1, D2 5" cutters but only 14" long.

Scott's is probably mid 70s

You must have taken some great pics i would have guessed yours a couple inches bigger than that.
Great bucks on any unit much less a 2nd choice.

Shoot em till their dead

Zac,
Awsome shot! The vapoer trail is way cool too!

That is a great heavy goat! I really like the character on your friends buck as well
 
My friends buck was really broomed off and only 13 long.

He had awesome mass and prongs to make up for it!
