That buck is as pretty of an antelope as you will see and I most likely would shoot him. I like szihn don't give a damn about score and have never had anything with horns scored. Don't care!
I judge a hunt not only if I kill an animal, but also the friends and/or family there to enjoy the time with. My score for that buck is not inches, it's 35-40 lbs of some of the best meat I can put in my freezer and a great story of a long stalk or fooling an animals senses! We have stories for just about every animal we have taken and MOST of them aren't bucks or bulls, but we had a blast doing it and that's how we score hunts, not animals.
Am I an old fart in my early 50's for thinking this way, maybe but it's our way.

Looks tasty to me. I'd shoot him on our local archery hunts. If you want a P&Y or B&C book buck then keep looking.

I'd pull the trigger on him for sure. But I'm one of those out of state hunters.

Flat out one of the hardest animals to judge period! Between me and my buddies we have prolly taken over 80 bucks and only a couple were no doubters. All the rest had to be looked at a bit to even get close.
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging

If you are into field judging antelope, I would suggest the video "Size is Everything' by Tony Grimmett / Pronghorn Guide Service. There are many good photos on his website also.
