Pronghorn

[BigHorn WBY]

After the mud and snow (and hunters) of last weeks opening, Mama and I explored out east, west of the Powder.
The land has dried up nicely and was devoid of hunters, of which I prefer.

As this was more of a leisurely meat hunt (we have 20-some Pronghorn mounts) we wanted to see some country, take a few hikes and harvest some game if possible. After our noon meal I made a chip shot on a young buck out of a small bachelor group. Later in different area Mama made a nice shot after a nice crawl in stalk.

Mama used her tried and true Weatherby .240 ULW with 95gr Bergers and I, a Weatherby Mark V 6-lug in 6.5x284 with 140gr Bergers

Looks a bit like my last pronghorn, just east of Landers. Congrats to Mama and I hope you'll do at least a Euro Mount to honor her achievement.

Nice job and congratulations! Gotta love them Berger bullets for hunting

We where hoping for no trophies, but yes this will get a Beetle job. We have 20-some others, plus a bunch of shoulder mounts, didn't really want another............


I like just keeping the "horns" on the smaller ones, we have buckets of them, they make a cool decoration.

Nice job, got any favorite recipes? A buddy got one yesterday. Hes not a big goat eater, so he gave it to me.

I cook it like I might cook veal. If the kill was handled correctly the flavor is very good.
I have some associates who cook it like beef liver (onions and all tht stuff) if that appeal to you.
