Aggiebow88 makes some good points on judging Pronghorn Antelope. If you are not used to judging them, it can be difficult to know a decent buck from a really good one.

One thing I would add is something we talk about a lot up here and that is flat weight versus round weight. For example, you may have a buck that is really tall, say 16 inches and has good cutters but only scores in the low 70's because he is flat. Flat meaning that he does not have the mass, or if you look at his bases, they are fairly thin from front of his head to the back. On the other hand, you may have a buck that is only 14 inches tall and has decent cutters but not great, and if he has what we call round weight, he may score 80-81. Round weight means instead of the bases being thin, they have more round or mass to them and this means a lot more with regards to scoring.

A few years ago I kept passing up a buck that did not have much length to him but was pretty heavy with round weight. He just did not look that good to me because like most people, the length is what appeals to most people hunting Pronghorns. Well, a guy I know took him on the last day and he ended up scoring 81 which is a very nice goat.

You have to look at a lot of them to really get a feel for how a pronghorn will score, if that is what is important to you. Like I said, most people like the look of a taller goat with good cutters but at the end of the day it is personal preference as to what you like.

Good luck to you! What part of Wyoming are you hunting?

Gonna sit here till I shoot one or it gets dark. This place is pretty remote so other than hunt there ain't much else to do anyway.
