Antelope Pic in Casper Sportsmans WH

[NE69]

Last fall hunting season I saw a picture on the trophy wall in Sportsman's Warehouse loacted in Casper WY. The antelope looked big and the writing on it said score of 100+. Hunters name was on it but I didn't think of taking a pic of it at the time. Figured if it was legit I would see it in the hunting mags. Haven't seen anything on it and last month when I was through there the pic was gone. Does anyone recall seeing it or have any info on if it? Just been curious ever since. Thanks guys.

I think the world record was shot in az a few years back and scored like 96 or something or an another. I would think a 100+ would be a pretty popular topic.I'm guessing whatever you saw was not accurate.

That's what I'm thinking. When I saw the pic I knew it would be a WR if it held up. It was a shot of the lope and hunter in the field and it was a big lope but pictures can be sooo deceiving. Thanks.

It wouldn't surprise me if one was shot and never officially scored. Some of those Wyoming boys don't like the advertising...

Which ones. I know I could care less...

Many feel the same way... I have a BC buck and 2 P&Y bucks that are not listed in the books. Growing up in Laramie, it was almost frowned upon by our peers & elders to enter an animal in the books. My best friend in Laramie has several BC animals and a couple P&Y animals that he would never consider entering.

you'd think even if a guy didn't care about it that someone who had the pics of it would spread them around and people would catch wind of it. I don't know.

I could see someone keeping a B&C or P&Y animal off the books, but a world record is another story.

Not to a lot of those guys... A world record brings a lot of attention- and hunters. A lot of those guys don't want either.

It may have scored 100 SCI... or in the 90's SCI...


I've seen some bucks on a wall before with scores like... 96sci....and 85 BC... big difference sometimes!

 

[NE69]

I should have taken a pic of the pic. I think it said score of 101 3/8" and his name which I don't recall. Hunter was an older gent that was a little rough on the edges. Could very well have been one of the Wyoming cowboys that wouldn't care much for all that goes with a WR. Still hoping someone else saw it that knows a little more about it and they will respond. I was there about Sept. 20th and again Oct 12th but don't remember which stop I saw it.

I'd give the store a call... and ask.

btw I would think anyone that shoots a world record would welcome some "free money"

also I believe the world record was just surpassed a year or 2 ago from a buck in NM, the 2 previous WR's came out of AZ I'm quite certain with a score of near 96" B&C?


side note I would love to see a monster, 78-80" goats look quite large/awesome to me! an 85 or 90+ would just look insane in person I bet! Sometimes you see these monster bucks etc... all next to each other with their scores and you can't really tell how big they are since they're not next to a more average sized animal.
