well it took me 7 yrs to draw this tag and it took me 10min to fill it.we scouted for2 days before the opening day and seen 100s of antelope and this guy caught my eye the evening before the opener.so we went back to camp and slept the night by.we went back the next morning and he was in the same spot we seen him the night before.we had to sit for a few mins waiting for legal light and when it was time he was standing at 185yrds and the 270wthrby let loose and my first antelope was laying on the ground.next year I will been getting my archery tag for these guys.

Yeppers! Looks like a nice one to me. He appears to have all the classic stand out features we were told to look for at Steve B's.

  • Dark horns
  • Prongs start above the ear tip
  • Horns prominently hook and appear to have as least as much horn length above the prong as below it.
  • Prongs appear to stick out at least two inches from face of the horn.
  • Bases are significantly wider than the eye or base of the ear

In summary, based on what I've learned about them, Real nice! You did good!
