There's some really cool antelope in this thread. For me, a buck with cool looking horns is better than one that tapes/scores better. Big is nice, but character is better in my eyes.

Anyone?

I guess it depends on what you want, how much time you have, and what tag you have in your hand.

I really like the one with the big cutters. If I see him next Saturday he'll have some lead heading his way

My brother is a taxidermist here in NM so he gets a lot of antelope that come through the shop. They are very hard to judge, even when you are holding the skull cap in your hands. Good mass counts for a lot and makes the lengths look shorter than they really are. There are some really good goats posted in this thread.

We measure a lot of the big ones just to see what they are, and on only one occasion has a hunters self-measured score been accurate. He was actually a half inch low on an 83.5 inch goat. Everyone else usually tells you at least 2 and usually 3+ inches bigger than the antelope actually is. The measurements we make have been verified on several occasions by official measurers and we are always within a few eighths of an inch of the official score. I have no idea how the hunters end up so far off from reality.

When you're making a dozen measurements, being 1/4 inch off adds up fast.

Measuring a pronghorn isn't quite as intuitive as say a deer or elk in my opinion. It's easy enough to make a numerical mistake on where you're supposed to measure the mass at, and I think a lot of people measure prong length incorrectly. That prong length measurement is a strange one especially if you never/hardly ever have done it.
