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.
