Great looking mount Michelle, nice work.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

Thanks Guys!

I believe it goes about 63 4/8".  Not a monster but still a nice looking goat.  Real symetrical.  Only had 4/8 deductions.  That is just a rough score I did a couple days ago.

I cant wait to shoot something worth mounting again, you do such a good job. One of these days I would like to get one of my bucks remounted by a professional. Totally can see the difference.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

great looking mount...

I don't think he has the mass to score that high, Carp...
no pro though, thats for sure.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Not sure carp.  I have never scored an Antelope before.  I went by the directions on the B&C site.

Wow, really nice work Michelle!  Keeping my fingers crossed for a MT speedgoat tag this fall...

Sorry, struck out AGAIN.  Oh well, at least we'll have 2 points going into next year.  I'll draw 480 one of these years...  Right now we are debating on whether to burn our 2 points on the 700 units, or if 2 points will be enough to draw 480.  We have private land and a local guy that can show us around 480, but we're getting tired of sitting out year after year waiting to get drawn for it...

Looks good Michelle.

Between Ranger and I we have ten tags for Wyoming. Let me know if you want me to save you a couple of doe capes.  You are not getting my buck cape.

I havn't decided yet if I want you to bring me a Doe Cape yet.  May be a good thing to have for a competition or a display with a buck antelope.

Beautiful job Michelle.  My favorite shoulder mounts are of antelope and elk, I like it when the mane of the speed-goat is accentuated on a hard head turn.

Very nice Michelle!!!   I have a desert archery deer tag in my pocket and hope to score on a dandy.  I live in Kelso, and will give you a call if I get something worth mounting.
