Just got back from scouting pronghorn ...
Forgot my camera, so no photos ... but the short story is that the rain this year has been great ... lots of grass, and the bucks are carrying more mass this year than normal. I was lucky enough to look over a dozen or so spots before settling on one that has two small water holes separated by a small spot of land ... so I should be able to cover both ponds.
I\'m just hoping to get a doe before elk season. Hopefully, it\'ll calm my nerves for when that bull walks by and parks himself broadside at 20 yards while he turns his head away from me!
As I left my blind, I came across a genuine B&C buck ... one of the two largest bucks I think I\'ve ever seen, and his horns sort of sweep forward, over his nose a bit.
Also, I saw what can only be described as a non-typical doe. Doe antelope often have little 1\" or 2\" horns ... this one had horns that were at least 4\" if not 6\" and they swept forward horizontally, not vertically. My stand isn\'t near to where I saw her, but you never know.
