Alberta Antelope scouting pics

[bonedogg]

Based on our priority based draw system I should be hunting antelope with a bow in Alberta this fall. I am fortunate to travel into our area for work about once a month which is about 3 ours away from home. I went looking for a buck that I had found last year and after ten minutes, he popped out of a draw not too far away from where I saw him a few times last year. I'm guessing he's somewhere between 74-76" which is a big spread, but its a range I feel he's in. Any thoughts ladies and gentlemen?

Haha I know I was being a smart ass - sorry. I'd shoot any of those!

Side by side buck #2 gets it. But Buck #1 has character.

#1-71.5, #2-74.5

Looks like there is wire in that one photo - he might not be emancipated.

Either of those are trophies with a bow!

I would personally chase #2 but if #1 presented a shot, I'd take it.

I'd shoot buck #2. Looks like he has higher prongs and bit more mass.

“Is that goat emancipated” seems to be 2020’s version of “Can I park along the Interstate and go hunt”.

And to the OP, I’ll say 67 and 71. Shoot either one. Good luck.

#2 has more mass and bigger prongs and I think would score better.
