Since we’re all impatiently waiting for hunting season let’s throw some guesses out on a couple bucks.

Buck #1

Buck #2

This is my antelope scoring technique…..Me…hey that’s a good looking buck… Who ever is with me….. Ya he is…..Me ……BOOM.

Buck #1 is over 80, especially if he gets 3 mass measurements below the prong (I don't think so). Love the look of this buck regardless of score!
#2 has nice prongs but just average everywhere else. 77-78

Trust me, I've had lots of ground shrinkage with goats, so I'm no expert!

Both are great looking bucks.

That top buck is pretty solid ~80-82" I think, despite having fairly short prongs. Great mass, and if he had maybe 1" less length above the prong he would be a real contender for three mass measurements below the prong.

Bottom buck is probably 75"--those big prongs help make up for shorter horn lengths, but I think the mass is the main thing keeping him under 80".

Take #1 all-day-long but #2 is no slouch either.
Personally, I think nontypical nailed them on score.... at least in my humble (uneducated guess) opinion.
#1- 80 plus a couple
#2- mid to high+ 70's
