Well fattened bucks

[Point Creep]

An ode to @Wyoming270 and his 60lbs of boned out antelope meat from This one.

Share your 2026 results - post your meticulously cared for and total boned out weight of your recently taken pronghorn. Save the neck, brisket, ribs and all organs if you want to have a chance at the 2026 Wyoming270 Fat Buck of the year award.

I’m sitting on a fatty, season opens in 2 days. Thankfully I did my research and prepped well for this one. Amazing the good tips you can find by using the Search feature.

Haven’t saw the cargo bill yet but I bet I cut 50# of clean fat and bagged it off my moose this year. A friend asked me to bring it out if we could. It was quite disturbing how big the bag was

80lbs of meat guaranteed.

Looks like @ 12 ounces of swinging steaks?

I'll get a bone-in measurement on this guy in an hour or so when I'm home from work. He was pretty chunky.

Does it take as many Hopzones to hunt well-fattened bucks as it did 8 years ago or have things slowed down a bit?

Things have slowed down a bit. I’m not as tough as I used to be

Remember, he has 2 days to fatten up some more. mtmuley

His horns are not huge but pretty decent for a skinny 2-year old buck.

I’m guessing 35# total meat and 78” score for horns.

Weigh that bad boy without the bones. My guess is roughly 35#

The last goat I shot in 2019 I weighed the whole carcass before cutting. The whole carcass was 55 pounds just prior to me starting butchering. I had shot an elk the week before. One of the hind quarters weighed 55 pounds lol

Those balls are probably 8 oz. Don’t forget to pack those out.

I got the balls, liver and heart. Only wasted meat was the tongue. I didn’t want it hanging out in the hero pics.

I’ve actually never weighed a field dressed antelope before - will have to do that with this one. He wasn’t obese, but pretty fat.

That is fantastic and if there ain’t some fisheye chit going on that is an excellent pronghorn!!

Similar to @Point Creep, I left the tongue. The eyeballs will get pickled though, so that added about 2 ounces to my net total.
