Utah West Desert Antelope

Post by NotEnufTags » Sat Jun 13, 2009 2:24 pm

I've never been antelope hunting. I know nothing about field judging antelope. I took my boy out shed hunting in the west desert yesterday and got skunked for antlers but saw these antelope. I don't have a tag there but if I did would any of these bucks be considred shooters for the west desert?

I wish I could offer you some help notenuf but I have a terrible time trying to judge speed goats. Those are some great pics though thanks for sharing!

Top one looks the best for sure, is the bottom one and the top one the same buck?

Other ones look a bit young, but the top guy might be in trouble. :)

Yes Brett, they are the same buck. It was out a ways. The photo was taken at 12x zoom so it's slightly blurry.
