Nice job!! They sure are good looking animals in my book. I wish I wouldn't have ruined my cape, I wanted to mount mine.

Thanks guys!
I wish there was an interesting story to tell, but to be honest, this was the easiest hunt of my life.
We spotted him from the truck, went a few hundred yards down the trail behind a swell and parked. We made a short jaunt around a knoll and came over to see him at 320 yards. He scented us and moved off a little bit before presenting a nice broadside standing shot for me. One round at 343 yards was the ticket. He trotted about 10 yards slowed to a walk and dropped. I am having my friend Jeremy Judkins with Judkins custom Taxidermy do a European platform mount for me. I have seen his work for years and it is top notch. I had considered doing the mount myself but his prices are very fair.
I wish you all the best of luck on all your hunts this year!
