Pretty quick and concise report, but we (myself and two customers) got it done today. We went 3 for 3 with very respectable bucks and had an excellent time doing so. It snowed its ass off last night and today, which made for some fun hunting conditions for us Texas guys. The ranch roads were a mess, but we got around well on the side by sides. Absolute blast of a hunt just outside of Casper on a 40,000 acre private ranch. Found a solid buck around mid-morning for myself. He was with another 15 or so antelope. I laid down in the snow, got as comfortable and steady as possible, and the guide ranged the target buck at 835 yards. Pulled the trigger and the bullet drifted 4-5" wide. Perfect elevation, but we were off on the wind coming through the canyons. Put another round in the chamber, adjusted the scope dial to compensate for our slight miss, squeezed the second round off, and smoked him. By far my longest shot. Incredible to see a bullet travel that far. Was shooting a custom 6mm x .284 with suppressor, which was awesome. Really enjoyable hunt. Going calling for coyotes and foxes tomorrow before heading back home on Thursday.

Congrats! I got my first goat in NM last year. Can't wait to chase some again. Hunting pronghorn in the snow is pretty rare I would assume.

I have no beef with the original post, I just think taking ultra longshots is kind of weird and borderline unethical depending on your skill level and equipment.

Also in my experience WY and CO ranchers hold pronghorn in the same regard as we do pigs. They'd probably laugh you off the ranch for getting high and mighty about making an ethical shot on one
well one is feral and invasive and the other isn't....

*****ing like many of you are doing here is why many people leave this place. This guy used to post a lot more, and was pretty quick to post unpopular opinions. But it drove conversations. Remember the flashlight guy (Mistershipwreck)? It was great having him around, but if I remember correctly a number of events led to him leaving. It's like losing a Caladan type opinion.

Let people post what they want to post. If it's extremely unethical or illegal, then give them ***** Otherwise, move on with your lives and care less about the internet.

Great shot and congrats. Ive never even had the opportunity for a shot like that. Have hunted entirely in central and south Texas. I live vicariously theough those that are anle to get out and up into more rugged terrain.

I cant imagine making a shot at 835.
Honestly, I've never shot past 200, but even then, you have to factor in some minimal bullet drop and wind will play a factor.
It takes quite a bit of practice, control, and fine tuning of equipment to shoot past 500 and hit a target the size of the vitals on an antelope. Add another 334 yards to that 500 and it is very impressive.
To say that it is not sporting to take a long shot like that is just ignorant to the facts.
Very few people on this board could make that shot.

I hunt ETX. I'm zeroed at 100 yds because that's all I can see in the yaupon and brush. I can't imagine taking a shot over 800 yds because I never practice it.

Longest I've taken was 250 yds. My only hunt in STX near Zapata. Hit a bit high, broke his back and dropped him on the spot. Luck doesn't even begin to describe it.

Kudos to OP for taking the shot. And having the skill to make it.
