Antelope score

Howdy MMers,
Just a fun thread looking for guesses on what this CA speedgoat would score? I’m awful at scoring antelope so looking for help! Be nice to have a baseline while we r out there sizing them up!
Thank u!!!!

Man those are tough. So tough with blurry pictures. It often times makes them look heavier than they really are.
I'm guessing between 75-77"???? Solid buck though for sure and a pretty look.

Thx MTNMAN, yeah sorry about that. The wind was whipping and still getting a feel for the glass. We were thinking mid 70's as well.

Couple cleaner ones. Best I got.

Beautiful animal. Regardless of the score, that’s high enough for me, I would shoot him for the cheek patch!

He does have some cool markings.

Love the black face and how his prongs lay out. 75 ish would be my guess.

Super nice buck..nice markings can't beat a really nice black face..I'd say upper 70s..would look nice on anyone's wall

yeah he is nice!

He's a really great looking buck. How he scores is really going to depend on his body/skull size. If he's got an oversized head on him, he could break 80", but more likely I'd guess he's a mid 70s buck .

I would say 73-74.

Thx fellas! On the search for more to compare! Standby!

I’ve got a 75” and an 82” on my wall. That buck is somewhere in between. I’m betting closer to 80.

14" (stretching it), 6" prongs, good weight- 73-75 score.

Yes 14 is a stretch.

2 eye balls width at the base plus 2 ear lengths tall is a good thing to look for.

I don't know much about anything especially judging antelope but I'm guessing he's closer to 70". One thing I noticed while there was that all of the more mature bucks that I came across had fully dark faces. Just my experience but something to think about.

What do you guys think this Lassen goat scores?

Here’s another. I like him better than the original one I think. Thoughts???

Horniac · 2024-08-10T00:27:08-0600

That’s a cool looking buck with those heart shaped horns. Prongs look average to me though…

He's simply got "it" for me. Gorgeous buck, and he'll likely score pretty nicely, right around 80" would be my guess.
