please score this antelope

ClarkW · Aug 21, 2008

I know a couple of you on this site seemed pretty savy about scoring antelope last year on some posts I looked at. I am hoping for some educated guesses on this buck just to see where I am at. Thanks.

Very Nice buck! Probably 15 incher - gross close to 80"

CAelknuts · Aug 21, 2008

I'm thinking that buck is 14"+, and will score upper 70's, like 77-78". Nice buck!

I have shot a 79" goat, your looks a little bigger, I put him in the low 80's.

sageadvice · Aug 21, 2008

Before i read the other replys i was thinking that he might go 80".

Nice one, i'd shoot him in a second! 79 1/2 gross.

Sorry but I don't feel like he is bigger than say 75 after adding him up I am only at 72 but maybe he has a little extra in there.

Nice symetrical buck. I'd guess about 14 inches and about 76 gross. Shoot him ! Chip

lchcguide · Aug 22, 2008

mid 70's at best for me. Great looking buck! I am saying 74 3/8!

HNTBIGBULLS · Aug 22, 2008

14 1/4 tall
6 base
6 1st
3 1/4 2nd
2 1/4 3rd
4 3/4 prong

36 1/2 each horn

73 gross

I would guess 75-76. Pretty goat.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-08 AT 12:31PM (MST)[p]Antelope are incredibly hard to judge with a photo. I'd say mid 70's. A nice one. He has good mass above the prong and pretty good hooks. He'd get an arrow from me for sure!

muleymaniac81 · Aug 22, 2008

I come up with 78. Let us know what he really was after you get him on the ground. Good Luck!

ktc · Aug 22, 2008

I will also put him near 74-76? I do not think he has the prongs or mass to put him near 80. He is definitely a nice goat, but not book imo.

fullcurl74 · Aug 24, 2008

I'll agree with those that put him around 76". A little short on prong and mass, but very pretty. Maybe if you whack him you can let us know how close we were.

Avsman · Aug 24, 2008

In the front view it looks like he has big wide hooks and that adds alot of inches, he looks over 15" to me with decent mass, I would guess that he will go over 80 gross, and his net wont be far behind 80 but just a guess, go kill him and let us know.

ClarkW · Aug 26, 2008

Thanks for everyones input, I appreciate it. There was a wide range of guesses there, which can be expected looking at pictures. I got to say, this buck looked pretty big to everyone looking at it. The pictures don't impress me as much alone, but when this buck was next to other bucks he really stood out. Thanks again for your time and comments.

EliAGrimmett · Aug 28, 2008

LAST EDITED ON Aug-28-08 AT 01:15PM (MST)[p]I'm going to guess about 88 inches. Good luck if you can or did stick an arrow in him or know of anyone who did.

eelgrass · Aug 28, 2008

I'll say 86. You'll have to talk to Eli if you think that's too high!

CAelknuts · Aug 28, 2008

HUH????? Are you serious?????

ktc · Aug 29, 2008

Eli,

I would listen to your advice over anyone's, but can you explain why you guess him that high (I guessed 74-76)? I am missing something big time! From the pics I would pass and that would be pretty dumb on a 88" goat!

ClarkW · Aug 30, 2008

We actually guessed the buck in that range. We shot a 77" buck right after blowing the stalk (within 4 minutes) on the buck pictured here and it was obvious that this buck was considerably bigger. Really, there was no comparison. They were not in the same class, that's for sure.

Guess it will have to stay a debate. Thanks again for everyones replies and guesses. If it makes everyone feel better, all the guys back home that looked at him ranged from 72-89". Big variety of opinions. Makes you really appreciate those few guys out there that can score antelope good. My compliments to those folks, that's impressive.

AZWALKER · Aug 30, 2008

Eli is gonna be alot closer than the rest of you. This is a picture of me with a 72" buck with 14" horns, the one in the picture is ALOT bigger than mine!!!
