Ice Hunting

[Rucker61]

Or 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 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.
