How big is a big pronghorn

Recommended Posts

Depends how you look at it. One way is to use the Top 10 or 50 or 100 of each species registered in B&C.

 

Top 100 cut off for B&C:

 

Pronghorn - 89-4/8

Elk Typical - 390-3/8

Deer Typical - 199-5/8

At what point do they just look big and you know it's a shooter

Like sheep mass mass mass all the way up. But I personally don't mind a smaller scoring buck if he's tall but not as massive. The Grimmett videos are your best resource on how to learn the best ways to judge them.

84" on up IMO. lots of goats seem to fall in the 77-82" range. In my experience, I tend to gravitate more toward length than mass, and that is opposite of what you want to do if you care about the actual score. I passed on a buck that scored 82" with my bow only to have another buddy kill him the next day. I wanted the one in my avatar more and he is shy of 80" but has 16" + horns with a better shape imo. The one that scored 82" had 14" horns but had ridiculous mass. Really comes down to preference and what you are trying to achieve.

Would definitely want a taller one over a shorter more massive one

You can't say that until you see a mass buck in the field. Found one today in 18a. Short but MASS...

If he's massive right now he's gonna be a beast because they still have a lot of growing left to do.
