We agree on something! Fish eye and angle can make a 77” goat into something of a spectacle!!

Okay. That makes sense. I am a hyper literal person but I have 3 teenagers so I am slowly catching on to sarcasm 35 years to late.

That's an incredible buck!
But it does make one think. If the occasional buck in B&C can manage to get 3 mass measurements below the prong, is it possible to have the three measurements sit above the prong?! If so, this fella looks like a candidate (which would be bad for scoring, but on a buck like that, who cares what the score numbers are?)

I think a good angle would show that prong to be in the middle or or even higher then middle of the horn. Without question wouldn’t have 3 mass measurements above.

D‑2‑3‑4. Divide measurement C of longer horn by four. Starting at base, mark both horns at these quarters (even though the other horn is shorter) and measure circumferences at these marks. If the prong interferes with D‑2, move the measurement down to just below the swelling of the prong. If D‑3 falls in the swelling of the prong, move the measurement up to just above the prong.
If that Antelope has 20 inch horns, D-2 would be taken 5 inches up. The top of the prong is easily above the 5 inches mark where the 2nd measurement would be taken. No way 3 measurements above!
That's a great antelope, very few people would pass on it!!!!!!!

Sound right for that picture. Unique buck for sure and will make a very nice mount.

Let's talk about the comments here. To all the armchair experts, frankly you are nuts. I passed this pix to Blank. I have not seen or laid hands on the animal. To the 77 or 74" crowd, really? You do not have much experience with speed goats... This is a B&C head easily. I don't see fish eye lens characteristics in the 2 pix. Wait a bit and no doubt we will all find out the score for sure. My guess is upper 80's... B&C, based on the original pix. If you have verified pix of the same animal let's see 'em. Congrats to the hunter! A very special animal.
How big is this one?

If you know for a fact that is the same buck, then hot damn I need the name of who is taking pics for Timberland! I've seen a handful of buck pics over the years with that weird-forward hook configuration, and I can't see any good enough ID points in the pics to confirm either way if those are the same buck.

Takes a hell of a lot to make upper 80’s. And pictures like that are deceiving!!! Seen a lot of great and B&C quality animals with deceiving photos. I feel it takes away from the animal. Here is a picture that will add a lot to a great buck.

The pic I posted came off timberlands facebook. It’s the same buck. Look at everything on their website. They fisheye the dogshit out of everything. That buck is mid 70’s at best. Cool buck but not a big buck. No way I’d burn a AZ tag on it but that’s my choice and I wouldn’t hold it against anyone for doing so.

To fisheye:
Or not to fisheye:
My wife was messing around with the iPhone when taking these. Interesting difference!! Don’t believe everything you see on the internet folks.

Fish eye is cool, but won’t hide ear to horn comparison.
