Headed south for speed goats!!
Well my old man at 75 drew his trophy antelope tag! Headed south. He is intent on breaking his 84 " brute on the wall from 20 years ago. Scouting is saying it could be possible lol!! At 75 he can still shoot extremely accurate to 500!! Pictures to follow!!

Headed south
84” is a pretty lofty goal, but you never know. Good luck!

Just going to ask what you guys think this antelope will score! his length is 13.5" and a bit and his bases are 7"!! The guys who helped cape it said it was mid 70. Just for comparison my son is 6' 1" and 135 pounds lol and 17!!

With 7" bases and 13.5 length hes likely 74-77" depending on prong length as it looks like he holds his mass great up top.
