Ok, I drew one tag this year - an antelope tag with 4 points for the unit group that I live in. 141, 143, 151-156 in NV. I will have a lot of time to scout this summer, and I have a few areas picked out which I know don't get hunted much, and there haven't been a lot killed according to the harvest stats.
Finding antelope is not the problem. I see them all the time. I have helped out on a few hunts. I can tell the difference between a young buck (2 or 3 year old 10-12 inch buck), and a good buck. But where do you separate the bucks from there? I am talking the difference between 15 inch and 16 inch and 17 inch bucks. Bucks that score 74 or 76 or 80. Not much difference there, and I have a hard time with it.
Does anyone have pics of different scoring bucks that have different horn structures? Live photos, and dead?
I waited 4 years for this tag, and it is the only one I have this year, so I have 3 months to find a keeper.
The tough part will be keeping my finger off the trigger to get those last couple inches of mass.
Thanks,
Marcial
