Thought I'd share my goat I shot on 3 Oct. This was a DIY hunt on BLM land. Conditions were horrible with all the rain the area received. Lots of area were inaccessible due to the muddy conditions. Shot was 585 yards with a 6.5 PRC shooting hand loaded 143 eldx's @ 3083 fps. DRT results. Buck is short and stocky, 14 1/2 on hook side and 12 5/8 on other side, but has lots of mass 7" bases and 6 7/8" prongs. Taxidermist green scored gross of 84 6/8" but has alot of deductions and may not make 80" after drying. Dont matter I could not be happier with him still great buck to me!

Lol! That's what the taxidermist said! I told him I taped him at 83 5/8 but have never done it before, he was like no i dont think hes that big but I check him. About 10 min in he was like oh my God he's a great buck and his measurements were bigger!

Better be careful.

You didn’t get Buzz’ permission before posting that 84” score on his forum… so he’s likely to be annoyed.

And his little buddy, jm77 ?, will have some snark about claiming your taxidermist’s tape.

Just sayin’. ???

New to fourm who's buzz?
 
Who’s Buzz? Great question.

One of our resident old farts on this site. Best known for knowing everything about everything.

But I was just joking. He’s harmless. Welcome to the forum… and again, great DIY antelope.
 
Thanks, yours was too! And just a note never said mine was official just gross green score, net score not so good 80+ green. Still my best goat:cool:
