AZ Speed Goat

Some how the stars were aligned this year for antelope. Drew this tag with 8 pts. Scouted hard for months finding a lot of bucks. Locating this buck again the day before and putting him to bed. To finding him at first light when it felt like every other tag holder was looking for this buck. To putting him down for one last dirt nap with a 240 wby. I've been blessed to say the least and am extremely grateful for the opportunity to hunt with my loved ones. It's been one of the funnest hunts I've been on.

I wanna hear more about this 240 wby.... 243 on crack.

Great goat

Thanks. It's got a 26" douglas barrel, Bell & Carlson stock, pillar bedded, trigger job etc, with vx3 4.5-14x50 LR with target turrets. I wanted to have a long range, flat shooting, and something that could push through the wind coyote and deer gun. I shot this buck with 100gr sierra bt's at 3300 fps. This load shoots lights out through it, so I stuck with it. I want to see if I can get the 90 gr scirocco's to workn but we'll see. I wanted to just try something different and I love it.

He ended up scoring 82" and was 15 4/8" tall. He was big bodied feeding on mountain grass al summer weighed about 150lbs and he wasn't really rutting at all which was weird.
