Awesome man. Great story and photos. Always wanted a region 3 goat draw when I lived in the valley. Never happened. Cameras don’t do steep terrain justice and your photos look steeeeeeep. It must have been a hell of a grind.

Thanks for the kind words. I cant take all the credit. My father is responsible for the high quality, consistent loads.
130 accubonds, I believe at 3060fps
Todbartell, the neighborhood ballistics expert, is responsible for helping me dial in the CDS system with this particular load.
I dont have a chrono, so everything was tuned with ballistics tables and trial in the field, out to 450-500 yards.
The rifle is a rem 700 CDL. It is factory, except I had the guys at reliable lighten the trigger to 2.5lbs when I had it in for a recoil pad replacement some years back.
Final chapter of this hunt:
looks great
