I grew up rifle hunting Whitetail in eastern ND but never had the chance to shoot anything remotely close to a trophy buck. Last year I expanded and drew my first prong horn tag hunting western ND and shot a dandy. I planned that if I filled the tag early and I had my bow tag to try chasing Mule...
Did my first Prong Horn hunt this past October and used a Ruger All-American .243 with the 95 gr Hornady SST and dropped him at 250. Very little meat damage with good shot placement and easy round to shoot practicing at high volumes. I would have shot out to 500 if need be with the SST round.
