Our Wyoming bucks. Had a day to find some mature bucks and got it done. We saw many nice bucks with great mass and prongs all over the area. Looks like it was a great year for Wyoming pronghorns. Lots of nice bucks taken on here. Congrats to all.
Not monsters aby any means but good solid 14 1/2 and 13 1/2 in bucks.DSCN1054 (800x600).jpg

My 1st Antelope....Wyoming.....only had Doe tags this year.
Also took 2 more Doe's in a leftover unit...learned alot for future hunt.
 
Harvested my buck Thursday. I got there very late in the season due to two AZ hunts and jeep repairs. I think everyone else had tagged out because I never saw another lope hunter by the time I got there. Used a cheater stick for the first time in 4 years. Never been to this unit. Scouted two days and scored on my first stalk on day three. Didn't measure yet. Still driving home.

My first Antelope. I'm not real sure why I practiced shooting and got good out to 400 yards when I shot this one at 35 yards. DSC_0084.jpg It is some really good eating with the cooking I have done so far.

Got my son out last week and hope to get my daughter out this weekend for one last look for MT antelope.
We’ve really been getting a lot of antelope in my house. If my daughter scores, that will make 10 good bucks in my house in slightly over a years span.

My Southern Alberta buck from this year.

I was actually curious on measuring the prong, with the little 'bump' in his one prong is the proper measurement only to the top ridge part of it? Similar question to the one posted with the 'split prongs' on the last page? Not that it matters, just curious how they are handled when split or have a crack through them, etc. Mine is pretty minor.

Great hunt. You can hardly tell the wind is gusting to 80-90km/h in these photos

We only drew one tag at our place this year, but the guys let me tag along to run support while Nashua, our youngest went after his speedy goat. It had been determined that he only had one day to spend over in the 700 country and we would look around long and hard, but he planned to shoot what was available rather than keep going back and burning fuel and boot leather hoping for one more inch of horn. After several closer looks and a lot of little bucks, we headed back to a little piece of state land that had held the best one of the day. If he was still there, it was show time. Got to make several stalks that ended with our buck just across the line on some private and brought us to a halt. Just about the time we were going to give up, the landowner drove by and Nash introduced himself and explained what was up. The man gave us permission to go for it and that was all it took to make that buck leave his little band of does and run across the road onto a large piece of BLM., funny how that works. After much sneaking around and taking it slow, the guys got into position for a shot. It was a fantastic "low pressure" hunt and could not have worked out much better.IMG_2449.jpgIMG_2462.jpgIMG_2461.jpgIMG_2483.jpg
