Ice Hunting

[Rucker61]

37805Or as I called it, "Hunting Tauntaun on Ice Planet Hoth". It was 2F with -15 wind chill on Friday north of Cheyenne as we walked around for miles looking for pronghorn. I did get one later that afternoon, 3 does for the sausage grinder for the year.

That's what it looked like on my early October Pronghorn hunt (https://www.ar-15.co/threads/117249-Dashing-through-the-snow) in NW Colorado but it wasn't nearly as cold as you experienced. Got to go well prepared in these conditions. Looks like you could reach out and touch them from a good distance with that setup, what rifle and scope were you using?

Congratulations on the harvest! I love fresh Pronghorn steak off the grill, and antelope sausage for breakfast.

It's a Tikka T3 Lite in .308, 150gr Barnes TTSX at 2800 fps, nothing huge, with a 4-16x50 Viper PST. My hunting partners are all shooting magnums with bigger scopes. we sneaked up on a herd and they sneaked up on us - I saw two heads looking at us from just over 200 yds away on the next ridge over, we laid down and the whole 150+ herd walks into sight. Kinda hard to pick out just one and not worry about pass-through. Sure is fun to see all those goats together.

It was very cold this morning in Golden Gate State Park-- Deer hunting
Had to find shelter for a while when the wind started blowing, the trees unloaded all the snow they had captured in their branches

Looks cold, and a tad bit scarce of the required 500 inches of orange.
