Thanks for the early sneak peek photos Travis. Again, awesome bull, and good job keeping the hunting tradition alive in the next generation.

I can't tell you what the 30+ other Hybrids and other "Match" bullets looked like or weighed after killing our big game....because they all exited. Except this .308 175 SMK @ 3300mv @ 160 yards from a bull elk.

.308 215 Hyb @ 3100mv, 432 yards, bull elk. Weighed 88.5gr 6mm 105 Hybrid, 3101mv, 445 yards, pronghorn buck. Weighed 51.9gr.

Good brass Fed GM215M or CCI250 73.0-76.0 H1000 210 HVLD or 215 Hybrid 2850-2950FPS Stable, accurate, clean burning, lethal

I have heard from 3 reputable guys that have killed: 82+, 82+, 85+ in unit 10 during this year's rifle season so far. Those are just guys I know. I think people are taking one mediocre year and dissuading folks and/or downplaying the unit. No, I have never hunted antelope in unit 10, let alone AZ for that matter. But one guy laid eyes on over 30 bucks in 2-3 days of scouting prior to season opening, and claims a few bucks in the 80-82" range were seen and targeted. And this guy knows game very well. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut, and help discourage others from applying in 10 to help my chances next year going in with 26 points....

That is a truely succesful hunt. Might not have had the final outcome you wanted, but a filled tag on the last day with all that effort is a blessing. Way to stick with it, enjoy the venison, and thanks for the journey.

To be honest, this makes me wish AZGFD would ban trail cams.

Factory, look into: Hornady Precision Hunter w. 200 ELD-X Hornady Match w. 195 ELD-M HSM Trophy Gold w. 210 or 185 Berger HSM Game King w. 200 or 180 SGK Nosler Trophy Grade LR w. 190 NABLR Nosler Trophy Grade w. 180 NAB

Factory or handload info?

I meant because your photos were all sideways....fixed it for you. Again, awesome goat. Glad to help you out anytime.

Looks like some really steep country in your post....

Killer cutters on that buck!!!

Looks to me like he boned it out and spread it open to let it cool. I only see one rear quarter hanging there though. I hope I am right... EDIT.... Saved the photo and blew it up....it DOES look like 2 fronts and a single rear quarter...…. If some A-hole jacked the tagged rear and head, post photos so we know what to be looking for......

Find the cows, you will find the bulls.

Great goat!!! Good job Hunter. Hope the other son recovers quickly.

Come on!

You guys....heck. I would have taken a tag TODAY if they offered it to me!! A buddy of mine, his kid had a antelope tag, and he filled it midday today with a very respecatble goat.

You're welcome...

You have a month of scouting. Good luck.

Man, I wish I could get that email. I have a slower week scheduled next week.

Went to a Y.O.U. Hunters Ed camp for Taylor and my wife too. My neighbor is a big time member. Great organization.

Took one good one, one very good one. My 17 year old daughter took her 1st.

We were up around Springer/Raton area.

Great first story. Nothing wrong with your first buck. Only gets better from there. Welcome to the site. Lots and LOTS of knowledge (and opinions) here.

Welcome. Great post and sentiment. Fantastic pronghorn as well. What part of the state?
