Nice antelope Leo. Looks like a fun hunt. I'm hoping to go lope hunting for my first time next year.

It was the E. Beatys Butte Unit. It took 12 points to draw. And it is a Remington 721 30-06 from the 50's that was my Grandpa's, and I have never shot a more accurate rifle (125 gr handloads believe it or not)

Great goat! Nice shape with good conformity.
I'm about 2 years out from an Or draw so time to get excited. I now have exactly half as much hair as I had when I started applying. To answer the question about judging antelope, I use a quick few things. First, horns double the height of the ears are about 12" straight up. Add whatever curl to that. Second, for score you want the prongs to be above the ears, or in the top 1/3 of the horn. Third, look for mass from the base up to the prong and prong length. And a final that has nothing to do with score but is a turn on for me is a good set of ivory tips!---shooter
