Reg 3 goat hunt

[Husky7mm]

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.

I like your camp setup... the goat is very impressive as well

How did I miss this epic thread? TSO delivers the hardcore goods!
Congrats and look forward to seeing him after the taxidermist.

What's your scope magnification?

Thanks! Its a Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40 .... I believe it was on 8x when this pic was taken. I'm rarely at max magnification except at the range. I like to keep my field of view as wide as possible, especially if I might have to make a follow up shot.

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.
