Great antelope.  Had an archery tag back in 91 or so, pretty much a 100% draw back then, didn't have time to hunt it.  I still regret that.

I'm guessing mid-70s, very solid buck - congrats!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Taxidermist did a quick score on him 76", if I remember right. He is 14 1/8 and 14" real symmetrical.

Thanks, I had him a little closer to 80, guess I need to practice my judging, lol.  How long were the prongs?

Well like I said it was a quick measurement. I don't remember the length on his prongs, sorry. I will say that the pictures don't do this buck justice. He is one of the prettiest goats, I have seen in a long time. He wasn't even the one we were after, he was plan-B. I just hope I draw my tag next year I will be after the plan-A buck!

 Ridgerunner, here is a pic on the table at the taxidermist it's the buck in the front right. I don't get to caught up on the score of antelope. I like the bucks with mass and good cutters with polished tips.

That's a good goat right there.  And in my opinion some of the best game meat you can eat.
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.
