I hope to go on my first antelope hunt later this year. If i get a nice goat, is a pedestal wall mount generally more attractive than a standard shoulder mount for these animals due to their small size? i have a few whitetails mounted and an elk at the taxi, but nothing smaller. also, is it difficult to mount it to the wall and keep it stationary?

Good looking mounts. Wall and floor pedestals have become my personal favorite.

Speaking of Antelope, there is still time to apply for WY. You have until March 15th. I have an excellent Outfitter who is running 100% on Antelope in WY. Many book heads come out of his areas. He does a 3 day hunt (1x1) for $1,750 and this includes motel lodging and meals (no junk, good restaurant food). License fee will run you around $277 this year. Doe tags will run under $40. If more than one wants this hunt, contact me and I'll get you an AR member group discount.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

He is very good but not a booner. He scored 79+. 14 7/8 high and good mass but the prongs weren't real long - one had about an inch busted off it.

With all that said, I scored him to learn how it's done and how to field judge. I really don't care that much about scores - I care about the hunt and the memories. He is my first Pronghorn. 2005 in central Arizona.
