Arizona Governor's Tag Pronghorn Photos

[EliAGrimmett]

Larry Knipp's Arizona Governor's Tag Pronghorn.

He hunted with Eli and Tony Grimmett of Pronghorn Guide Service and Chad Smith of Vaquero Outfitters. Larry took the buck with a one shot kill on the 333rd day of a year long hunt.

The buck's preliminary measurements indicate that it may score around 94-inches. It sports 17-1/2-inch horns with 6-inch prongs and 7-3/4-inch bases.

Uffda. What a lunker. Congrats to all.

Isn't that considered some kind of record?

Not even close, only 4 guys in that picture.

Not even close, only 4 guys in that picture.

No joke! It's nice hunting without an army - and quite frankly it's more efficient.

 

[Jezz]

what a TOAD.

So edumicate me on the governors tag, minus paying bookuu bucks for it... The holder gets to hunt 365 days from start date of the tag? They don't have to hunt within any given season? I just thought it was similar to ID super tag, where you could use any weapon in any open unit.

 

[EliAGrimmett]

365 day hunt from August 15 to August 14. Any hunting unit.

There are 2 tags auctioned each year and 1 tag raffled.

The website for the raffle tag is here: http://www.arizonabiggamesuperraffle.com/

But the deadline to buy a ticket just passed a day or two ago for this years raffle.

Randy49er: Just in case you hadn't seen the GOOD photo of the current B&C World's Record. And by "good" I mean the photo with all the guides in it. The B&C photo only has Caid and Doc in it.

Thank you, I thought there was more than what was shown on their website. You guys do a great job!

WOW! an awesome goat. Gives us in Arizona all hope.

Arizona has a bunch of giants running around this year - much better than last year for horn growth. Finding them is the hard part.

I like that news.

Finding them is the hard part.

Bummer.

Hopefully this blind squirrel finds a nut - a big nut.
