Is he looking through the scope? Not much eye relief.

They don't need eye relief with their awesome vision It does look like he is looking through the scope, doesn't it? I never noticed that before...lol. Flinch

Here's a pretty good one from last year in Wyoming.

Thats an understatement!!! That is a heck of a antelope - any other pics you can post of that brute?
Wow - can't even guess the score on that one.

Oh, Look at them all! They're just like antelope, only smaller!



Silly boys! Antelope are for girls!

Here's a few of twenty seven (according to a friend that counted them) we have on the wall at home. (Including the girly buck shown just previous.)

As one guy mentioned, this IS the funnest hunting there is on the planet.

I'm not big on the whole scoring thing, but do not disparage those that are, unless they express the adventure in terms of competition. Hunting is never competition, and for me, to express it as such demeans the reason we go.

Most you see here were taken with "limited weaponry": handguns, muzzeloaders, replica blackpowder guns, antiques, archery. (Note the '03 Springfield responsible for the guy just under the buttstock).

Look closely at the framed photo, extreme right. Yes, my girlfriend is kissing her buck. She kissed her first, and continues to do so. The photo is also signed (barely visible) by Ted Nugent. We shared dinner with him and his family, and he thought this picture was pretty cool.

Been chasing these guys since I was ten years old, every year.



Hooks (horns curling at the tips) are where you get length that may not be always "evaluatable" in the field before the shot.

Lately, I put as much store in the cape as the horns for a buck deemed worth mounting. Some are real standouts for sideburns, black faces, and neck patterns. Yes, each is different.

And a field picture of the Springfield buck:

Great stuff there Tahnka! Looks like your family is Very involved in hunting pronghorn. Cool.

Here you go Oregonmuley.

B&C gross was 92 6/8
Net was 91 4/8

Those aren't my numbers or a guess, thats right off the official score sheet.

Wow - that is a trophy of a lifetime and just a heck of an antelope buck.
Thanks for posting that one - now I know what to look for this year:)

A giant for sure!!

loborojo....Post the scull pick with the beer can...it is a great pic.

It is a size reference some of us can relate to! LOL!

Bull.

I can see where he just spray-painted a Snap-e-Tom can blue and white.

Huge!!

Thats why i hunt antelope....
what a smokin buck!!!

So I did a real quick search but wouldn't that be the new Wyoming state record by a 2/8ths or so??
Unreal buck.

Oregonmuley, Thats what I'm hoping. I submitted the score sheet to B&C about 6 weeks ago. I have contacted them once and was assured that all my paperwork is the and waiting for final approval. They said it sometimes takes 2 or 3 months depending on how busy they are. Then there is a possibility of a panel scoring if he ranks high enough for that.

Here's some more trick photography Tahnka.

Should've had Ted sign that Booner of a pony tail.

That's an awesome buck loborojo.

Your killing me with the pics of that beast. If you don't mind, any chance of getting the story on your hunt - did you know that monster was around or did you luck into him?? Were you on your own?? Love to hear the details if you can post them.
