Help. Antelope score question?

[Craig]

I am trying to score my Antelope I shot in Wy this last year. He is tall and his prongs are real high on his horns. His 3rd circumfrence goes right across his prong. Is that were i would measure? or go above or below the prong?

the top of the piece of tape is the mark.

Check out the B&C website, they have all the particulars...heres what you're looking for:

Divide Measurement C of the longer horn by four. Starting at the base, mark both horns at these quarters (even though the other horn is shorter) and measure the circumferences at these marks. If the prong interferes with D-2, move the measurement down to just below the swelling of the prong. If D-3 falls in the swelling of the prong, move the measurement up to just above the prong.

Cool buck...

I'm not a expert but I came up with 73 1/8.

You're probably right on. The first picture looked like it had pretty good mass above the prong.

That mount sure turned out nice and the score seems about right. Congrats on a nice job!!!
