Well fattened bucks

[rogerthat]

Well I learned something. Would have bet a lot of money antelope were bigger than this. Someone needs to do this with coues deer

I haven't weighed this doe, but I'm guessing ~25 lbs.

Imagine the conversation that have been had at cut shops from people meat being stole on antelope. I’ve never weighed one I probably will this year to be cool but I’m not surprised with how many I’ve loaded into my pack and just done a single trip out

Two tripping an antelope is kinda funny, but I've never shot a well fattened one.

Last year my buddy and I packed two does and a buck out 2 1/2 miles in one load. From that I can say 1.5 antelope is about the weight of half a mature muley buck.

The whole point of weighing the boned out meat here is to reveal how silly it is to hear you can get “upwards of 60lbs” if you do it right..

Maybe if a guy spit roasted one like a pig

This all makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. Right out of college back when I stupidly used my vacation time to guide hunters I remember putting the front legs of an antelope over my shoulders like a backpack and packing it out. I thought I was such a badass which compared to my 150 year old client I probably was but it all makes sense now since I guarantee the whole college volleyball team could probably out squat me easily.

my 150 year old client

Lol

32 pounds on mine. Looked to only be 2.5 years old though so I’m sure he could have eventually doubled in weight…

A good friend has shot 2 mature bucks in Wyoming the past 2 years. He flies and takes the meat back in an insulated fish box. Boned meat weighed 44 pounds last year, 47 pounds this year.

Not done yet. But, the hinds off at the hock on this thing were a jaw dropping 10 and 10.3 lbs.

So, very well on my way to 60 lbs of boned out meat

Just finished cutting up my SD buck with a little help. Total was 37.5lb of deboned meat including heart but no liver.

Every antelope buck that has been shot by my wife or I ( as well as my brothers come to think of it) has been gutted and carried out whole and every one of them has been between 88 and 92 lbs. That is skin on, legs on, head on whole minus the guts.

This thing was 47 lbs of unprocessed and bone in meat. No liver or heart included. He was not a fatty by any means. Been dry AF.

I've become a pretty conservative trimmer now with toddlers who gorge themselves on wildgame burger and also lost a decent bit of both shoulders. Ended up at 30 lbs.

Got 2 very old bucks in the garage. I suspect one is a lot lighter than the other.

My wife’s buck tipped the scales at 36# of final trimmed meat (including heart and liver for grannie). Much of the neck wasn’t salvageable. His body size wasn’t quite as big as other bucks we’ve taken in the past.

Same. I should have moved to WY or MT the day I graduated high school

The more I read this thread, the more I realize that pronghorns are simply not worth the hunt and hassle anymore. I think we can all agree that pronghorn hunting sucks donkeys and encourage others to quit. /s
