Wow that is a dandy!

WY 2024: My first Pronghorn buck in the bag. We covered 26 miles in 3 days and only saw 2 bucks, thankfully I passed on the day 1 yearling and found this guy on day 3.

Great buck, was it DIY?

Long arms and fisheye pics aren’t needed when they really are extra big.

Great weekend with dad and my son. I never got to hunt with my own grandpa growing up. So these types of trips and adventures have become easily my favorite ones. We were lucky enough to be able to take a couple of great bucks. The memories shared were nothing short of special.

Its great to see generations out hunting. Used to be pretty common hear in WI, not so much anymore.

Thank you! Yessir, this was a DIY trip. It's a really great time out there, I'd add it to your list if you haven't already.

Nothing big, but 2022, 2023, 2024, top to bottom, with my two sons. We are probably due to not draw in 2025.

Me, my brother and a friend went three for three after a day of scouting on opening day with all three bucks dying within a hundred yards of each other

Same antelope.
The 3 casings in the nose represent me not realizing my exposed elevation turret had gotten twisted while hiking around. That scope got moved to a still hunting gun and the turrets are taped in place.

Nice display.

Nice display.

Thanks! It was much cheaper than a shoulder mount, although I plan on going that route for my next antelope.

Hiked in about three miles and setup a tent two days before opener. Scouted and picked up some sheds haha. Opening day my buddy was up first to shoot, then my brother and then me. At first light we saw a nice buck that my buddy and I went after that was chasing a doe around a small water hole 1/2 mile from us. My brother went after one that he saw in another direction. My friend ended up shooting his buck. While I was congratulating him and getting set to walk over the 290
Yards to his buck another buck crested the ridge running a doe right at the water hole. I got down on the gun and dropped him at 320. At this point we are super pumped. Both bucks are laying really close to each other. By this point my brother makes it
Around to us and is sort of happy for us but bummed his stalk didn’t work out. We told him he should stay and watch the spot while we quarter and pack our lopes out. About as soon as we start heading down to work them up another buck comes over the rise and my brother is able to drop him. Crazy morning and we all three got to pack out together.

That's an awesome story. Glad it worked out well for y'all.

This was the first time I identified a target animal before season. I watched him for several weekends after finding him and was confident he’d be my first buck over 70”. I really started to love the look of him and was determined it was him or bust this year.

It was cool to invest so much time in one animal (I even named him). After several failed attempts over a month with my bow, things came together and I notched my tag.

When I walked up to him I first thought, “nice mass, but maybe not as big as I thought.” Later I taped him at just over 80”… I felt like a real tool for my first thought but am super jacked to have taken such a stud. A taxidermist I trust tapped him a hair under 79!
