Heat Report post Posted September 8, 2010 2010 Arizona Strip Pronghorn Taken on Sunday September 5, 2010 at 8:45 in the morning. I glassed up a group on Saturday evening and figured they should be in the same area in the morning. I made a plan to loop around them and get the wind and the terrain to my advantage. To my pleasure, the plan worked and I found the group of pronghorn about 200 yards away when I got to the area where I thought I might be able to see them. They moved off a bit while I was preparing my shooting position, and when they stopped again near the top of the rolling slope I acquired the buck in my scope, took a deep breath, and pulled the trigger. I heard the tell tale sound "whak" shortly after the report of the rifle and saw that there were 4 does running away without the buck. I killed my first pronghorn antelope! The buck measures just a hair shy of 14 on one horn and 14 even on the other. Rough score from the taxidermist was about 79 inches. I couldn't be more pleased with him. Thanks to all of you who helped me along the way. You know who you are! Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
