Great for you Raven'r. He isn't only sporting a fine set of horns, but he is huge bodied! Great stuff! I'm more jealous than normal, no job thing has me missing antelope hunting this year--need to do the research and try a public land hunt where toads like that are!!! | |||

Very nice pronghorn. If those are the Bighorns you must be south of Buffalo? The corridor from Sheridan to Casper has got to be #1 for quality goat numbers. Jim | |||

Would you mind sharing your equipment list with us? Rifle, scope, and your cartridge recipe? I have a 7mm STW myself, and I like hearing what works or doesn't work for others. Thanks. Awesome buck dude, congrats!! | |||

A nice trophy and looked like a nice day to be out shootin'. How about an entrance and exit wound shot to see what happens at that range? . "Listen more than you speak, and you will hear more stupid things than you say." | |||

tell us about the shot? prone? sitting? sticks? where were you zeroed? hold over? Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Great buck! How long, how big are the bases and prongs? He's a bomber, that's for sure! | |||

Nice Turbo Goat! And I must say it looks like you have been hunting there a while because that camo pattern fits the surroundings just perfectly. Nothing like seeing guys wearing woodland but hunting in southern AZ.  | |||

Awesome 'lope! That should last you a while in the "I need a bigger goat" list of things to do!  | |||

That is a nice antelope for sure but I cannot see 86" there. IMO there has to be a few things that are outstanding to break that magical 82" barrier. He doesn't have outstanding mass, length, or prongs, do not get me wrong he is a worthy trophy especially if killed on public land these days. Dr.C At Home on the Range-Texas Panhandle | |||

So what's your point? Are you calling him a liar? "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry" - Robert Burns | |||

GrayDuck: Point is, I don't think he is even close to 86" and I think you are a jerk for proposing the idea that I think he is lying.People get misled many times in the scoring of trophies and politics. Dr.C  At Home on the Range-Texas Panhandle | |||

Having shot several around 82" but never cracking it, that goat is bigger than anything I have shot. All I know is he is over 82" probably by several inches. ddj The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back - Robert Ruark | |||

I doubt ravenr was "misled" by anyone. My guess is he scored it himself but only he can speak to that. I just find it interesting when people are able to score an animal more accurately from a picture or two than someone can in person. Sorry to offend you but hopefully calling me a jerk made you feel better. "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry" - Robert Burns | |||

doccash - I thought it was poor taste to question his trophy the way you did. You could have asked for the measurements or ect. Instead you just said that isn't an 86" goat. Poor Taste! ddj The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back - Robert Ruark | |||

Sorry this has gotten so out of hand after all this is not the political forum. I have seen and had scored many antelope, we live in close quarters with antelope in the Texas panhandle and I understand the problems with sight-scoring animals, especially antelope.That having been said, I firmly stand by my previous posts with no offense intended. Just my opinion. Respectfully, Dr.C At Home on the Range-Texas Panhandle | |||

Great looking pronghorn! I would be interested in seeing some measurements also. Antelope are a tough critter to judge so I always like to see measurements for later reference. Congrats to the hunter. | |||

It would be real tough to score him with the 2 pic's he has there, hard to tell the mass. He's a dandy no matter what the score is. congrats. | |||

Doesnt look 86 to me, closer to 80-81 but pics can be decieving. certainly not saying he's lying but it would be interesting to see the score sheet. | |||

I'm guessing that some of you don't know ravenr, or what he does for a living. If he says it's booner class I'll bet you it is.....

My guess is while reading this debate he’s kicked back in his desk chair with a big ole smile underneath that push broom mustache because he couldn’t care less what anybody else “thinks” when he already “knows”. Hopefully before the season is over I have a picture to post worthy of a Booner discussion. "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry" - Robert Burns | |||
