90+ inch Pronghorn Antelope

90+ Inch Pronghorn at 10 yards

There aren’t many pronghorn antelope that will reach 85″ let alone 90 inches.  This was a big buck we scouted, hunted & eventually helped our hunter take.  We nick named him “SAMUEL” & he was a freaking slob of a pronghorn buck!

Everyone dreams of getting to hunt a 400 inch bull elk but only a few hunters actually get the opportunity.  2021 was a challenging season for everyone with an Arizona elk tag because of the winter/spring drought.  The dry spell made it extra hard to find 370+ bulls, let alone 400 inch bull.  So, as Jamey Finstad walked up to his monster archery elk he was in awe of the moment.

We called this bull Big B because he had a great back end, which was rare for the 2021 elk season.

 

Here is some video footage captured before the hunt of "Big B":

Arizona is known for it’s large scoring pronghorn antelope but over the past 30 years human enchroachment, drought & predation have taken their toll on the over all herd.  The now shrinking herd is at near RECORD lows & Arizona is offering just 378 General Pronghorn Antelope permits for the 2022 season.   

In 2021 Dave Seno purchased one of Arizona’s Pronghorn Antelope Governor Tags for the 2020-21 season. His tag purchase funds went directly toward helping our pronghorn antelope populations that desperatly need all the help they can get.  

We scouted all across the state & ultimately picked out a big buck we called V-man.  This buck was the largest scoring buck we guided & found in 2021.  We can’t thank Dave enough for his tag purchase & for hiring Team EPO to assist him on his hunt.

If you don’t have the funding to purchase a governor’s tag there are still two great ways you can apply for Arizona pronghorn hunts.  You can apply for the state draw tags via the Arizona Pronghorn Draw & the Arizona Big Game Super Raffle.
