Just sheds so far for this guy. I’m sure there are LC but people might be shy to post their harvests in the heat in case they upset the peanut gallery haha.

very nice! Very impressive to me to be able to creep into 15 yards of a deer. I sound like a scared gorilla still, lol.

Friend came down for a saturday night decoy session. Couple almost in ranges. He had to head for home so I went on a solo mission. Saw bucks getting run off so figured good time to get creative. Walked my way thru some cattle and that guy stayed 26yds out. Such a fun hunt. Good luck to all arrow slingers.

Amazing evening in the stand this year for my second whitetail, thought my heart pounding was gonna spook him when he walked 20yds out from me with a bunch of does and spikers
Also I’ll add, we used a recipe off youtube for the liver from the Scott Rea project, “stalkers breakfast”, highly recommend it

24 archery elk
Was a good morning yesterday. Was at the butcher an hour after his last breath. Should be some fantastic suppers in the near future! What a day.

2024 Archery Harvest Thread!!! Post your pics and stories here!
Just got back from our archery antelope hunt! What a riot. 
We were able to coax one in on the first day that I was lucky enough to make good on the shot:
On the third day my buddy Mark made a great shot on another buck that came into the decoy:
What a fun trip.. won’t wait 15 years for the next archery antelope hunt!

2024 archery antelope in the books, first buck to properly decoy. I didn’t have much luck with them charging right in, very timid. Very cool buck, by far not the biggest I seen but very happy.

That’s a very unique goat!
Crazy bit of trivia… he will score better using the B&C scoring method than he will with the P&Y method.
B&C allows 3 circumferences below the cutter whereas with P&Y 2 must be bellow the cutters and 2 must be above.

Unless things have changed since I was a measurer, Pope and Young was the same as B&C. Divide horn in four equal sections. You get an advantage w a higher prong as the third circumference is taken just below it.
I have been away from it for 15+ yrs tho

Pope and Young 2 must be below and 2 must be above, that stipulation is not on the B&C sheet, this antelope will have 3 below using the proper placement for mass. Have a look.
This statement is on the P&Y sheet backside,
“Note D-3 must be taken above the prong. If D-3 falls on or below the prong, then take this measurement immediately above the prong.”

A lot of guys seem to get confusion with this one, and B&C can get 3 under, depending where the 'swell' of the prong starts and where the measurement lands in regards to the 'swelling of the prong'.
Not a ton of 'swell of the prong' on this one, would be interesting to see where numbers land.
From B&C:
D-2. Circumference at 1st Quarter
Divide Measurement C of the longer horn by four. Starting at the base, mark both horns at these quarters (even though the other horn is shorter) and measure the circumferences at these marks. If the prong interferes with D-2, move the measurement down to just below the swelling of the prong. If D-3 falls in the swelling of the prong, move the measurement up to just above the prong.
