Bob in TXPronghorns & Badgers
I just picked up my Texas pronghorn and two badgers from last falls hunt. Bob Wilkins at Wildlife Artistry in Cameron, Texas does my work. I had never called in a badger and ended up calling in two within two months on different parts of the state. I had Bob do a full body mount on one and a pedestal mount on the second one.

Badger MattVery nice. I like the badger with the habitat shelf. Pretty classy. Your 'lopes beat the heck out of my Wyoming prairie goats too.
I've got to take a badger one day --my call sign's been "Badger" for years now...

K20350Wow. They are both really nice. I also am fond of the shelf mount, VERY COOL!
Badger Matt,
Pronghorn antelope in Wyoming have different horn formations than those in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
There are huge antelope in Wyoming and Montana, though they tend to be heavier horned, shorter horned, and have longer hooks.
I have 3 Wyoming antelope that beat the Boone and Crocket minimums. They could all be brothers, though they were all shot in different parts of the state.
They all score from 82 to 85, have 7 to 8 inches of prong, and all 3 are only 13 inches long. Old Wyoming goats are all about mass, there are antelope in Wyoming that will be 15-18 inches, but they are rare. Most Wyoming pronghorns that make the book are 13-15 and super heavy.
