[QUOTE="bluefish, post: 1535540, member: 22424"] My friend, with 8 points you can hunt many of the great areas in WY, but if you are serious about making the most of that tag, and if you are looking for a buck over 80 inches, you really should consider an experienced guide. One that specializes in really big antelope by the way, If you are just interested in a really good, but not great animal, then DYI is probably ok. There are some good videos out on field judging. But with 8 points I would be looking for a real slammer and a good pro if you can afford it. I'm sure you already know guided antelope hunts are much less expensive than mule deer or elk hunts. If have been hunting them since 1974, have killed around 25 antelope, and have taken very nice antelope bucks in WY, MT, NM and Co. including several near booners. Still looking for that 82 plus net score, but they are out there-- several friends have one on the wall. It usually means sorting thru a bunch of ok heads to find Mr. Right. I love the entire process. Big antelope are my thing. Antelope are really hard to judge in the field, and I am pretty good at it, and have good glass and know how to use it. But I really value a second opinion when possible. A slightly different angle can look totally different. There are so many factors length, mass, length of cutters, etc, etc If your goal is truly a B&C class animal, I suggest you find yourself a guide that can really tell the difference between 78 and 82 inches at 400 yards in varied field conditions. I would check references carefully, a lot say they can tell the difference. Those 8 points are precious! [/QUOTE]
