Opening Day Speed Goats, would you shoot.

Depends on the state.  If WY, no don't shoot easy tags and plenty of antelope.  If OR and you waited many years for the tag....yes shoot.  As you may not get a better chance.

I’m not wasting a tag in Oregon on either of these based on the bucks I’ve seen in that state and the time/money investment into drawing a tag. I’ll never have that problem though because I waited long enough I will never get an Oregon antelope tag

I'll put it this way. I had an easy shot on a buck similar in size to these first thing opening day on my Idaho antelope tag last year. I passed and have no regrets about it.

These are on the small side, and if you've never hunted lopes before, you'd be robbing yourself of the experience of messing with animals that are definitely one off from deer and elk by taking one of them opening morning. Unless this is a unit with hardly any antelope, there's no reason to be in a rush.

No. Small prongs and based on the unclear pictures, the horns aren't in the 12+ inch range for a decent buck. This is based on the pictures, of course I wasn't there and didn't see the animals in person.
