GreyGhost85 Report post Posted August 28, 2019 If i had 26bp’s, i would 100% give my tag back if i hadn’t found a great buck to chase. As everyone else says, you can kill a 75-80” buck every year. I’ve killed 4-5 in colorado in that range. I want one BIG AZ buck. Sitting on 23bp’s now. I probably have another 10 years waiting at this rate. Good luck on the draw next year 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glassitup Report post Posted August 29, 2019 Helped a friend this week and shot the biggest buck we found, stayed on him for three days, 4 blown stalks, over 20 miles of stalking and he did not quit. Watched him fight off two other bucks and break 3 inches of left cutter. And got it done ,83 yard shot. 8 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hunter4life Report post Posted August 29, 2019 I never really believed the less rain = bigger antelope theory until this year. In my area of SE NM we have had a super dry year. My brother is a taxidermist and has taken in over 20 antelope so far this year and on average they are definitely the biggest I have ever seen. Multiple 80"+ goats this year and generally this is a low to mid 70s area. I have a lot of antelope that water on my property on the edge of town and they max out horn growth at 3-4 years old and really drop off after that from what I have seen.
