My brother had a antelope tag for Wyoming this year. They went up yesterday and took this great looking goat last night. They said the only tape they had was a steel one but that it is at 15 1/2 inches with some gnarly points around the prongs.
47,275
They were hunting unit 114 and this hunt is a private property / school trust land hunt. No BLM. They secured permission from a land owner and met him Friday afternoon after he showed them his property boundaries he turned them loose. It wasn't long after that that they found this beauty they were able to get with in 150 yards. He turned broadside and it was game over. Shot it with a Winchester feather weight 270.
They had a friend come over that is quite knowledgeable about antelope score and he taped it out at 80 5/8" not to bad.
They had and will be having it mounted, I will have to post pictures in a few months when they get it back. Hope that is enough for you, I was not there so I can not tell you much more than that.
What did you apply for? I don't have recent info on Parker either, however it's the BEST herd in the state according to the DNR as far as how well they do and numbers wise. So there should be plenty of bucks to chase, not sure you'll find any trophies there though?
I took my chances and applied for any weapon, without really knowing whether the prospects are good or not. There have to be 2 or 3 good bucks somewhere. I'll try to find one.
Thanks,
