Congratulations!View attachment 614585I found this guy in Wyoming antelope area *** on 10/15/2023. As you can see, the terrain was flat and cover sparse. He bedded down with his back to us which allowed us to close to 471 yards. I went prone and dialed in my dope. I sent a 147 grain Hornady ELDM from my Tikka T3X CTR 6.5 Creedmoor. He was hit hard and went down quickly.

I love a good shoulder mount, but I think I'd opt for a European on that guy.Thank you all for the kind words. I will definitely get him mounted. I'm not sure whether to do a European mount or traditional. I didn't see any sign of previous injury. I assume his horns are the product of a genetic defect. The visibility in his right eye was definitely impaired by the droopy right horn. Here's a pic showing the terrain and direction of the shot. It made for a challenging stalk.
