Wyoming Antelope Gear

The .243 is perfect. With the .300 win mag, expect meet damage. Even if you hit behind the shoulder, there will be bloodshot in the meat. That's why I quit hunting them with my 7 mag.

It's not hard to find an opportunity on antelope within 200 yards. But if you find THE antelope and he's posted up with his does and 20 sets of eyeballs at 400 yards, there is usually no getting closer unless you can back out and use the terrain to stay out of sight. But a lot of the time, he'll have chased them around to a new spot by the time you move in closer.

Or occasionally if you miss the first shot, or have a marginal hit at 200 yards, they will be 300-400 yards away before you get an opportunity for a follow-up.

Excellent! I assumed the .300 would be overkill and cause more damage than needed, but wasn’t sure if the .243 would have enough behind it to reach out effectively
