Hard Work Payed Off

After finding this buck, talking to landowner to get permission, and doing some homework, here he is. I wish I could say the hunt went perfect but it did not. Shot was made from blind at 52 yards. Was a little low and couple inches back...

So after a very long day and a bit of an emotional roller coaster, I get to take him home.

Largest buck for me so far. Very pleased to say the least.... Good luck out there!

Way to bring it home! Going to lots of stories around the dinner table this year, I'm sure.

Nice antelope! We still have 3 weeks to wait to do any bow hunting here.

Beautiful goat, nice hooks. So what did he score, 70-72+??

Thanks fellas!

Did a quick measurement with taxidermist at 71"

5 1/4" prongs

6" bases

Awesome! congrats. I'm going to chase these critters with a muzzle loader in a week.

Fine job. Love it when a plan comes together.

Nice prongs and good mass down below. He'll make a pretty mount---Congrats!

That's a great looking antelope! I'll be headed out the second week in October for our first DIY trip. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself a bit, but do you use a taxidermist in Gillette? We've waited a long time to take this trip and will be making a 26 hour drive for the hunt. If I end up with a decent buck, I'm contemplating having a mount done as I don't know if/when I'll make it out again. Can't wait for the trip and thanks for all the great posts.
