New Mexico Pronghorn hunt

[Trophyhunter01]

Found a landowner with 3 tags for 2023 Pronghorn season, so a good friend and I bought them and started prepping for the hunt. I brought my daughter on this hunt, her first out of state. Very different hunt on the wide open plain with long shots the norm. SW New Mexico grows some great pronghorns.

We used my Remington 700 Sendero 300 RUM with Zeiss 6.5x20 optic. Nosler Trophy Grade ammunition 180 grain Accubond running 3250 fps.

My daughter made a perfect 200 yard shot on a nice wide buck on a windy stormy afternoon.

My buck was taken early am dodging rain with a stiff wind at 400 yards. Not sure if it was luc or practice but I can claim it.

We both had nice one shot, no tracking required shots.

Two nice Antelope - wide and good mass - Congratulations ! must’ve been a very memorable DYI hunt with your Daughter (the smile on her face says it all) AND she took a great trophy. Any hunt with your children is always extra “special”. Also nice that you Each made clean “one shot” kills (certainly used “enough gun”)

Congratulations to both you and your daughter! Your daughter out that bullet exactly in the right place!
Making her shoot a 300 RUM though… she must be a bad arse young lady! LOL

She is a keeper, did not raise her to be a door mat…LOL.
Thanks for the compliment.
That Sendero is a bull barrel with a break, probably weighs 13+ pounds with scope and shells, it is not that bad on recoil, about a 270 to me.
