Well, Zach and I had super high expectations for this antelope hunt, and unfortunately it didn't end as we planned. We still had a lot of fun despite the lack of big bucks. We had both set our goals at 80" or better (I was actually hoping for 82+) but after looking over so many, we felt it wasn't going to happen. Also, for anyone wanting to know, its hard as heck to shoot a bow in 30+mph winds Not much to the story so I'll just keep it simple. We hit it hard for 4 days, put in just over 1000 miles on the truck, by the way, if anyone finds a tote with about 15 mountain houses and snacks in it, merry christmas

Looked over hundreds of bucks and decided on the last hour we would just find a couple and go home. Day before we left, I spotted this "texas Longhorn" buck and I told Zach if we didn't find an 80" before we left, I'm coming back to get this thing. So, I did Yesterday, found the sucker again not far from the first day and let him have it

Few pics from the hunt.

Now time to quit messing around, its Moose and Mountain Goat time!! hopefully some good pics to come!!!

In the world of pronghorn hunting, ugly beats big, all day, every day. Congrats.

in looking through the first pictures my immediately thought when I saw the wide rack was "oh, that is the one i would go after"

Glad to see you got him, great buck. The other one is no slouch either

Amazing.

Great bucks. Good luck finding a bucket big enough to boil yours. If you don't mind sharing, what state were you hunting?

Name it and claim it! I hear that's bad theology but it seems to have worked for you

Congrats on a cool looking buck

As I was reading and scrolling the photo's I sure was hoping there was a grip & grin on the wide lope.

Awesome!! Congrats!

Cool buck. I agree, character always beats BC score.
