Caprivi,

I hear what you're saying about using a softer bullet and it was the intention for the hunt. I used the Hornady 139's because they are what I had on hand at the moment. I had dragged my tail ordering a couple boxes of Hawk 140's thus they didn't arrive until I returned from Wyoming. I have since picked up a box of Woodleigh 140 gr RN as well. I have wondered if the Hawks would have kept the old goat from running as far as he did. For being double lunged he sure covered some ground.

BTW, it was my first trip out to the Cody Museum as well. The museum alone was worth the road trip from Wisconsin. It was a long trip with a lot of nothing in between but once we got there, the Buffalo area and Cody, we had a great time.
