I am also wondering IF the Antelope horn growth is now done for the year or is he liable to gain another bit of mass/length to those already amazing horns? I have wondered about this Antelope horn growth time frame for decades now. Especially when I would travel to and fro while Hunting Varmints in Antelope country during spring and early summers. I have now lived in Antelope country for 16 years and see them daily from my home and in my travels - it seems to me that the Antelope horns attain full size by early spring? Unlike the Deer and Elk who are just getting going at that time! Thanks again for the great photos. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I showed the pic to a few friends who guide regularly and they estimated him to be 82" Originally Posted by Bristoe The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.

Oregonmuley Campfire Tracker Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 5,473 Likes: 2 jennings lodge, oregon	Originally Posted by EddyBo I would ground check him Yup I'd 2nd that!! I think that buck might just be one of those that is even harder to judge than usual when it comes to antelopes. In a couple of the pics it appears his horns lean out foreward a bit,making them look shorter than they really are. Also looks like decent length above the prongs. And in the one taken from the back the mass looks pretty good below and above the prong. Dang fine buck I'd be more than happy with!!! Last edited by Oregonmuley; 07/08/13.

The last two make him look tall and wide, but not necessarily "huge". I love the sticker points, or "trash" as folks call them, and would shoot him regardless of the score. NM has some monsters, that's for sure....

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

If not, it kills the score. He's also too wide, so that dings a few points. And he's not even. But don't let any of that even slow you down. He is a very fine animal with lots of character. If he isn't a book head, he is certainly book class and a real throphy is anybody's book. E
