Pronghorn Pic

This guy should be and I'm being conservative when I say this, but he should make 75". I would put him at about 16" long, he hooks way over. Pics don't do him any justice.

Wow, he's a beast! Good luck tagging him!

Dont be offended if there are multiple PM's coming your way, with people wanting to help out the scoring in person!!! Not second-guessing you, we just want to make sure the integrity of the forum is kept intact.

Yeah,......that's it. We're here to help.

Looks like the field a couple miles from the border at the tower not too far from your brothers place? Seen a good one there once..

bonedogg · #8 06-19-2017, 10:24 AM

Yea bonedogg this pronghorn could have a bit better prong on him, but I think the length will make up the difference.

Great pics Lou!

Big Lou · #12 06-26-2017, 11:52 PM

Thanks Bone. I suck at judging the buggers but will keep making trips so hopefully I've a good(or better) grasp by October. Numbers seemed really good. We looked at 120+ bucks in an afternoon and following morning. I'll be making another run in July and August so hopefully I can share pictures of some slobs too.

bonedogg · #14 06-28-2017, 09:51 PM

Beauty antelope their ram crazy!

Here's another decent Pronghorn that my son and I found tonight

Norwest Alta · #16 06-30-2017, 02:47 PM

Ram crazy how do you judge a good one from a mediocre one?

I look for the horn to really hook way over, this gives them lots of length. When you measure the horn you take the outside length. This fools a lot of people, when you view them from the side they look like just an average pronghorn. Then they turn and look head on at you and you see just how long the horn is. Then you get the ones that look really tall from the side and this also screws with a lot of people, because they go straight up and don't hook over at the top. The top of the ear is 5" horn length. Then look for long prongs. The height of the prong off the head isn't necessarily a concern either, because you will get two measurements below the prong. Then the obvious thing is look for lots of weight. That's just what I look for others will disagree with me, but too each there own.

Thanks for the info ram crazy. I've only seen one in the valley zoo 30 years ago and figured this is the year for my tag if not this year then next more then likely. If I get drawn I'd like to pick your brain a little more about them.

Thanks again
