Here is a good one.

thoughts gents on some measurements?
I’ll give you my numbers I crunched after a few posts.

Really nice buck. I'll say 78ish but his overall length may be bigger than I'm guessing.

Do you have a better side view?
Based on a 6" base, I would say he's more like 73-74.
Mass.
Is.
Everything.

I got 74, 4 different times but I was only doing 3 mass measurements, there’s 4 and I believe you will get 2 below the prongs. I have an almost 17” buck here in the house and this one definitely is that tall maybe longer. Plus they have larger bodies in Canada compared to antelope in the states. I would say that buck will go the minimum of 80”s!

I scored this buck btw

Again, need a side view.

Don't you get two below prongs regardless

 

[RobertD]

@bonedogg what was your estimate, since you've seen him IRL

 

[bonedogg]

I'm thinking he's 80-82"

Here is my guess

16 long
6 1/2" prong
6 1/2"base
C2-6"
C3-3 4/8
C4-2 4/8

i get 82

I also have a 17" antelope at home and think hes close to that one as well. I'm seeing 9-10" above the prong and probably 7" below. Also looks like hes got round mass vs, flat mass perhaps?

I should have a few more pics of him before the season starts. I have nothing from the front or bang on side view.

No, prongs have to be high enough on the horn, when they divide it into 4.

[Bluffgruff]

Not arguing he's nice, definitely is, but you need a reason to give any buck more than a 6" base, more than 5" of top mass, or more than a 5" prong, and I'm not seeing it, yet.

Looking forward to more pics, hope you get w chance at him come opener
