Great story, with a great ending.  Ive hunted Wyoming many times, and have gotten antelope before, it brings back some great memories. Great way to sprinkle some humor in there too. Nice buck, and a trophy you will always cherish! :clapper:

I love Wy., love Goats, Love your story. Felt like I was with you! Hard to believe the first shot didn't kill him and the one in the rear killed him so quickly....

Great looking pronghorn, and a great write-up. I believe Me and my wife Nancy met you on a pig/javelina hunt outside of Crane, TX back about 2010.

Great story.  My brother hit one in the same spot as you originally did but maybe an inch back (right where the white hair makes a 90 degree corner).  The arrow stopped on the far shoulder and he did not get both lungs either which surprised us.  We did get the animal.  Thank goodness for open country.
On a second note, you referenced the smell of an antelope buck.   For some odd reason, it is one of my favorite smells in the world.  I just love it.
Congrats.
