buckee Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Several years ago local officials had a problem with a few of Mr. Beilgards tomato plants............ The only problem was, that they weren't producing any tomatoes. It was Steve who actually made the complaint, but he also told the officials that the leaves were OH so good in salads.

VermontHunter Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I know I've asked this before, but too lazy to look for the answer When do we get our speedgoat tags ?? tags will come to you about the middle of july. there's a 100% draw, so no sweating. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Well, Steve's pictures got the adrenalin flowing. So here's some more fuel for the fire - a few I took a number of years ago; sorry, only a link rather than direct photographs. http://www.angelfire.com/bc/canuck2/antelope.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Thank you Luke Those are some great pictures there Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 good pics, jack. but, we'll do a bit better. that "mature" buck would be a bare minimum. antelope lessons are included with the hunt. actually, i really don't want anything as small as the "mature" buck shot. this hunt will be a step up from there...

Canuck2 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Right you are, Steve - I don't want anything as itty bitty as that either. Is this any good? Dadgum it! I did the edit thing and rotated the picture, but it still fell over. Oh well, just tip your monitor on its side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Right you are, Steve - I don't want anything as itty bitty as that either. Is this any good? Dadgum it! I did the edit thing and rotated the picture, but it still fell over. Oh well, just tip your monitor on its side. that's actually a pretty good photo. and, it shows a pretty good buck. an antelope's ears are 7 1/4". the top of the ear should be at the bottom of the prong, which this one is. now, the prongs here are real good, about 4 1/2 inches from back to front. so, the paddles start at the top of the ears, good prongs, and some good back curl. the left tip is broken off, which is normal. it's the rut, and fighting happens:o. the horns also carry good mass all the way to the tips, which is real good. the bottom line before shooting is to ask yourself "how will this look on my wall?" this boy looks pretty good. so, i'd guess this buck to be 14 1/2 inches, about 76 p&y, and midway into the book. so, shoot away.... yes, there are bigger ones out there, and you will see them. you saw two in my yard last week. but this guy is worth shooting. or, you can choose to wait for a bigger one. btw, only bucks have black cheeks and snout. that's important if you also get a doe permit. even young bucks will have black on their face. and does WILL have horns up to 4" tall.

stevebeilgard Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 i hope everyone read that last post, as that is pretty much how you'll want to judge the antleope you see. i'll go through it again when you're here, and do a bit of a guided tour of antleope for everyone. but, in the blind, everyone is their own judge.

I read it and thought it was a great bit of info... definitely a good starting point for us rookie antelope hunters like me. That would be a trophy for me for sure but I'll probably pass and wait for the 18 incher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Great information there, Steve. Looking forward to the guided tour there, too. Should be some good photo opportunities, yes? buckee, I get the same message as you on the draw results page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 rule #1: trust your guide. he told you that there are always more licenses for sale than hunters wanting them. so, there is a 100% chance of drawing. rule #2: go to the wyoming game & fish, leftover licenses for sale, and you'll see there are 565 licenses left for sale. rule #3: see rule #1... lol ATTENTION, SCOTT. HEY, SCOTT. ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?? TIME TO GET ONLINE FOR YOUR LICENSES.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
