Flatlander Report post Posted June 12, 2018 I look for 3 time the length of the ear then judge the rest. This other stuff, just shoot how many 18" goats you see?One on my wall. 😀 I think what hes getting at is that if you use that method youll probably go home empty handed in 99.9999999% of antelope units. You had arguably the best antelope hunt in the world. Your buck is incredible and most will go their lifetime without seeing one like that!! I was just bragging. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Sorry for the late response I thought I was on my death bed with this flu bug I got. Uggghh Anyways It all depends on how my scouting goes of how picky Im gonna be. Im headed out this weekend but again my next question is when are they done growing? Ive read somewhere that they shed their horns October-November? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couzer Report post Posted June 13, 2018 ^ They are horned.. No shedding for antelope. Straight from Wikipedia Animals such as pronghorn antelope and bison have horns instead of antlers, which stay permanently on their heads and are not shed. Pronghorn antelope do shed their horn shells every year and grow new ones, so antler hunters may find the black, hollow, fibrous horn sheaths when out antler hunting. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted June 13, 2018 That's correct, there hair and lanolin, I was told they were called sheaths 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Pronghorn definitely shed the sheath. Rare to find them since they deteriorate quicker than bone. But I have one I found in 7W years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
