First archery antelope

hunterbob · Oct 1, 2005

My son Chase got this one this morning. The taxidermist green scored it at 84 4/8. Nice ivory tips on it.

Nice mass! I missed one today because of a nasty crosswind. Didn't have nearly the mass of this one.

Wow! Great 'lope! It does have amazing mass, but I don't see it reaching 84" though. Hmm... Oh well, that is a gorgeous looking antelope and more so because of the bow! Congrats!

I didn't measure it, the taxidermeist did so that is all I can go by. When we get it back I'll let you know the offical score. Regardless what the score is, nice archery antlope.

Congrats on a great antelope!
Love the mass, but also question the score? Doesn't matter though, put 'em on the wall!

With that mass and awesome hooks I'll bet he goes what the taxidermist says. I had a client take a 13 1/2" goat yesterday that scores 76 because of great mass and prong length. What state? thanks for posting and congrats, especially with a bow!!

Nice archery animal.

So far I have found that it is very difficult to tell the score of antelope on this forum. I do not know if we all over estimate or just do not know how to score. I will be posting pics in a few weeks of an antelope my friend took in Wy. It is only 14 inches tall but has two 7 inch measurements for mass below the prong and only a 5 inch prong. It is very symmetrical on both sides and I measured it at grossing 82 inches. It seems to me this is too high of a score for the animal so I will let you guys try also.

I went to the taxidermist tonight and here is what we came up with. The horns have sat for three days now. I came up with 83 4/8. I thhink I am short on the D-2 measurement because both sdes have a small point on them. So here it is. No matter what the score, it is a nice buck.

No matter the score, that's a great buck, especially for a first buck, and with a bow nonetheless - Congratulations!

Don't mean to hijack any part of this thread, but i thought I would throw this out for example.....Here's my 2005 ND Goat.....only 13.5" also.....weak prongs but the height of them got me into the mid-mass measurements........grossed 75 4/8"
