Great first post. Here is your pic

Thanks for the welcome from the fellow Iowan to WVHunter for helping me with the pic. Photobucket is horrible to me lately. I shot one myself on the same trip but had left the girls in the motel to pack, so the pic is an after shot. I'll see if I can get it to post.

I don't think it posted, so sorry for the link. My first handgun antelope, though short rifle may be a better description.

Here are a few representative animals from last year in Wyoming. The blizzard that dropped 22" was due the next day so we tagged out and got out. Would have loved to of spent a few more days but we didn't have to eat our tags.

Another nice goat. For some reason the URL on your link isn't carrying over.

I guess it's time to get this thread fired back up for another pronghorn season. I will add the buck Bernie shot this week. Always love seeing the new ones show up in this thread.

 

[gritz]

That is a very nice buck!

Another Elko County, Nevada buck. Lots of solid mature bucks running around this year.

2013, Montana. Shane's first antelope buck. Didn't draw when he was 12. He's 13 here. No permit this year either, but he told me he was alright with that...His two younger brothers have permits this year and Shane will be there to help them judge horns.....he's an expert now!

This was a great day we spent together.....we layed and waited for this buck to stand up for the shot. Shane chose not to take a raking shot while he was bedded down, the shot would have killed him, but it would have needed to angle through the paunch. So we layed there prone, for about 45 minutes, and had a great conversation(in whisper), about the existence, and survival of Pronghorn Antelope...

Pat, If you don't mind me asking... GAP build that rifle? What's it chambered in? Looks like their camo pattern... I've been looking their rifles for a few years now, thinking about having them build a rifle for me.

Thanks!!

Arizona muzleloader buck

I managed to take this buck after finally stalking to about 140 yards. My first antelope anywhere. Took me 9 years to get the tag and a lot of low crawling, but what a rush of excitement. Notice the scope kiss between my eyebrows. Once I had him in the cross hairs, I wasn't about to take a chance on moving too much more, even at the risk of getting my bell rung. Thanks to my good friend Aaron for his company, help and encouragement.

My second speed goat.....Almost embarrassed to post given some of the outstanding goats in this thread. Learned a ton about stalking goats in open country during this particular hunt and had an absolute blast. WY 2013.

Coltfan....great pic. I have two little girls (6 and 3) myself. I hope to replicate that scene some day.

my best aechery antelope

I believe it was 2007, I hunted this buck for 7or 8 days straight before arrowing him. I blew it three or four times but finnaly figured out he ended up in the same spot each time. That was the end of the 2x4 buck. The reason I call him the 2x4 buck he has 4 mass measurments just over 7 inches with 6 inch cutters 83 2/8 pope and young.

I was able to take my 3rd and largest archery pronghorn last Friday. I was actually on my way to hunt elk, and spotted this guy with 30 does and couldn't pass up the opportunity. There was a small drainage I was able to use to get close to a few does, and when I busted out the Montana decoy, the buck came running straight to me. He froze at 45 yards knowing something was up, and I was able to put an arrow in him. He was quartering hard, and I hit him a little back but it still got the job done. What he lacks in length, he definitely makes up in mass.
