Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game First antelope hunt imminent.... advice?

Seems to be a lot of controversy over the trophy quality of JeffO's goat?

My take by judging from the pic is it would be an excellent trophy for say N.E. Wyoming.

But it came from an area that is known for large bucks, so it's probably a fair trophy for that region?

But as many believe a trophy is in the eye of the beholder. It is clear from Jeff's post he doesn't know what a trophy antelope is?

After all, the difference between an excellent trophy and a fair trophy is but a few inches.

This is one of the reasons I believe he should have got a tag for a doe or maybe even a buck in someplace like Wyoming.

He could have got some antelope experience under his belt. Maybe learned some antelope trophy judging skills?

Instead he burns 15 yrs of points and hasn't a clue about antelope hunting or trophy judging.

The dope smoking, guitar playin, partying in camp and fishing seemed to indicate he was not being serious about the hunt?

Jeff claims he was dead serious, only Jeff knows the answer to that.

Regardless it was Jeff's hunt to do as he pleases, but he decided to share it here, therefore we are entitled to comment.
