You can only kill one next year

80" goat not even in same universe. How times have changed.

In 2001 I had a pretty great MT season: 374 elk, 83 antelope and 194 deer. (gross scores). Also got a big black bear.

x2! I'm a pronghorn sl*t!!!

Count me in. Only because I wouldn't want my first elk to be my biggest.

Ive seen a few elk on a recent hunt, that I had a tag for, close to that 375" mark. Ive never even seen a 190" mule deer in the wild, only on walls. Pronghorn just dont do it for me. Mule deer 100%.

 

[RyGuy]

I’ve just about pooped my pants every time I’ve seen an elk over 300”. I don’t know WHAT would happen if I shot a bull that was 375, but I want to find out

Hell I’d gladly take a raghorn elk over the rest at this point. Someday the others will interest me but only getting 1 western hunt a year for now I’m enjoying chasing elk.

I think that antelope needs a side profile shot it’s dandy buck.

I think that antelope needs a side profile shot it’s dandy buck.

I’d have to look at score sheet but he’s 16” on both sides and has 6” prongs. I do know he nets exactly 81” as he’s one of 3 I shot in 365 days that score exactly that.

Well when you put it like that I'd take the bull.

 

[perma]

The elk could be a 280" and I'd still go for that.

 

[F250]

Could I swap the bull elk for a yearling cow ?

Face on that deer looks like an angus bull. Very cool!

It was a fun hunt, private land AND limited quota (441 late). I hope to get one bigger someday but it has not yet worked out. If his left side was a duplicate of his right - he’d score over 200.

You need Jesus.

Deer and it isn't close.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Elk, all day, every day, don’t really even need to think about it.

 

[huntin24/7]

Since I’ve never shot a big elk, I’d probably have to go that route, but man there’s something special about a 190 typical muley. A dark antlered 170 mountain whitetail would be another one to add to that list as well.

 

[Stocker]

That’s kind of a toss up. Need some context.

Hands down an 80” antelope with a bow.

You can get some good tags and get one with a rifle. It’s really not that hard.

Mule deer, meh. I’d love to kill a big one some day but deer don’t do it for me too much. Same as Antelope, killing a 180” with a rifle on a good tag doesn’t do it for me.

Elk: hell yes, but a 275” bull vs a 375” bull charging in and coming to a call, I can’t tell much difference.


Now if I could call antelope……….
