You guys are killin' me..... Threads like this are the reason I don't subscribe to Outdoor Life, Hunting Magazine, Sports Afield, Eastmans, etc.....

I've still got a few laying around.....grin!

This is my good friend Owen...he's the government trapper from Forsyth, Montana..this is a buck we chased a few years ago in Garfield County...too bad he was a little busted up..

 

[Big Fin]

Great pics guys.

I say this in all seriousness, if I could trade you my Montana elk tag for an extra pronghorn tag, I would do it. In fact, I might even trade two elk for one pronghorn. If you doubt that, just ask Lawnboy and Photofin about my reaction this season when we were 600 yards from a 330" Montana bull and a high 70" pronghorn came by. Screw the elk, a pronghorn like that is what I live for. Fortunately, my shenanigans with the pronghorn didn't scare the bull too far and he let me shoot him later in the day.

Yeah, I know I am not that smart, and the previous paragraph probably confirms that.

Where's Eli? That dude has some antelope pics, both dead and alive.

Still some other guys who are laying low on this thread, who have shot a lot of great pronghorn. Maybe they are on vacation, or hunting doves, Coues deer, or filling their Christmas list.

My friend Larry with what I think is the largest buck officially entered into B&C taken in MT in 2008. I'd say he was a lucky SOB but big antelope tend to find this guy. I think the gross score was 86+ and horns were 17.5"

If Larry posted all of his B&C public land bucks, he would have his own thread. Any way to entice him into posting some of those here?

Garfield County buck

Randy, he takes the absolute worst field photos of anybody. I have some laying around, or there's a few on the B&C site.

 

[The Hedgehog]

Dont' know if this will work..

All those bucks are total giants. 87, 84, 85 net. The bottom one has 8" bases and originally grossed over 88, (14.5 long) but since he bonded the cores on before measurement, B&C whacked him on the bases, but as you can see, they are swelled on the bottom, naturally. It still net scored 85 inches. He passed it the year before and took the middle one. Told me he regretted passing a heavy 13" buck, but found it the next year. I think he's taken 10 bucks that officially net over 82 inches.

 

[The Hedgehog]

Pat, how heavy is that sucker's horns on that one of your pal's? That thing is a beast. You probably have a 6" stack of antelope photos in print that have never been scanned yet.

When's Eli going to show up? I bet when it's all over, there's a hundred big bucks in this thread.

 

[Breaks Runner]

This buck went 80 6/8 B&C...was only a bit over 14".

 

[mohunter]

Wow you guys have some great pictures.

 

[Breaks Runner]

Kurt, the bases on Owens buck and this last one were real close to 8"....both were killed in the same pasture, the same year...

My antelope from 2006.

 

[Breaks Runner]

Here's a freaker we killed a few years back....the normal horn was small but the bent one was huge..over 15" and heavy.

 

[krshunter]

These are from three or four years ago and unfortunately didn't get any field photos at the time but here's the heads anyway.
