I almost forgot about this "long range quarry" I killed with my shorty .500: a horned doe antelope. They are relatively uncommon, and to spot one in a herd and then concentrate on getting a clean shot can be a real challenge, often times even more challenging than picking out the largest buck. They also make a neat mount. Hunting this doe is shown in my video.

That boar was close to 300lb. That was one of those exciting hunts that happened so fast during a snow storm. Used a 280gr SWC-GC that were made by an old expert from PA. He made some beautiful cast bullets...

Gregg, I really like the pedestal you used on the horned doe. That's really sharp.

Yeah, that mount is very cool!
Thank you all, gents!
