Pronghorn hooks facing forward?

My pronghorn experience is very limited, but it seems like most of the bucks have hooks curling to the back or toward each other. It just dawned on me that the hooks on the only goat I've taken are curling partially forward.



Is this common and I just haven't been paying attention? Or is this one defective so I have an excuse to look for another one? Wink

Thanks,
Kyler

I realize in this photo it's hard to tell which way the hooks go, but take my word for it they're slightly forward - and not backward like the optical allusion would make you think.

Kyler,

I have seen the hooks go all directions.

The strangest I have seen is an antelope where the hooks and cutters both went straight back.
shocker
Strangest looking antelope I have ever seen.

Sounds like you need to go again. I have never taken one, when do we leave?
