Antelope Tag 9-C

[Fritz the Cat]

Yep, nice damn antelope right there.

Rather than hoping one of the 3 people eligible to hunt your place finds you here on NDA, I'd suggest talking to your neighbors to see which one has a gratis tag and gently ushering him in that general direction.

Then again, if'n he were to stick around the area, you might want to get a gratis tag yourself next year and put that bugger on the wall!

It's true there were 55 tags allotted in 9-C and 52 of those went to landowners. Allen did his worst to try to cause division in this thread pointing out only three went to non-landowners.

Congratulations to one of those three.

During the bow season he had one opportunity and missed. Rifle opened Friday at noon. Windy as hell and the game warden was watching. He got him Saturday morning, in that wind.

Congrats to the hunter, that's a dandy buck!

They are acclimated to equipment working in the fields. Took this pic with my phone. The bales are hauled off.

That is nice one who ever drew lucky few tags hunt on

That's awesome. Good job, Fritz! Way to help someone make a memory!

Anyone guess a score? I know how to score elk and deer. Know nothing about scoring an antelope.

Talked to the fellow yesterday and he gave me a rough estimate. I believe somebody stretched the tape a little.

 

[Trip McNeely]

Mid 70s. 73-74ish

 

[luvcatchingbass]

Not a clue, then again I have only scored 2 of my whitetail and that is assuming my buddy and I followed instructions correct and if the kickers I scored "count" or not. We just did gross

 

[Tymurrey]

tough to tell from pics. I would guess upper 70's around 78", depending on actual mass. It carries decent mass above the prong and looks like prongs are well above ears. Looking at tag there isn't a lot stuck together. My guess is 6" average wraps for first two, 6" prong, 4" 3rd wrap and 2.5" 4th wrap with 14.75" length. I usually only shoot scrub antelope though so i'm probably off by a bit.

 

[Fritz the Cat]

When they have it officially scored, he is going to give me the number.

Had a bull elk (small) hanging around for a year. Somebody tagged him in September. Then two more showed. One got taken this morning. It's funny how small a world it is. He works with a friend who has to steers hanging in my walk-in cooler. Told him push that elk in there, go to work and tell him you are adding flavor.

14 to 15 inch was about the average biggest buck of the herds in our area. Once in a while you'd hear of a 16 or a huge 17-18. Not sure about any other measures on goats.

 

[Fritz the Cat]

87.125 scored by a taxidermist. 16.75 tall 7-inch wraps.

I believe the State record is 90 point something.

 

[Trip McNeely]

Holy shit! Really? I was wasaay off

 

[gillraker]

Wow, most taxidermists from my experience always score on the high end to make the customer/client feel all warm and fuzzy. It's a stud of a pronghorn no doubt, but until an actual official scorer puts a tape to it, it's a moot point, IMO.

She got him with one bullet. But it was right before dusk. The wind was blowing and cold. So, we helped her bring it into the yard out of the wind.

She told me while they were scouting this one yesterday, they saw a 3x3 also. Seems there is more and more elk.

This is cool. Thanks Fritz!
