what sound does a pronghorn antelope make

THis buck is the largest horned buck I have seen in Colorado and I est, his horns to be 80plus. I went elk hunting but I hope he may be around next year. Also check the horns against ear length. FWHEEEEEEEWWWWW FWHEW FWHEW FWHEW FWHEW FWHEW FWHEW FWhew fwhew... They make a birdlike noise, that for years I didn't even realize was coming from the antelope. The eyes of a pronghorn are located directly below the horn base, so they are a convenient feature to judge horn mass. Mel also stated that he ONLY uses the decoy during the rut when he observes the herd bucks chasing away the smaller bucks from his herd. ...and challenge calls are pretty much relegated to the fall, when bucks are vying for the attention of females, and needing to broadcast to the other bucks within earshot that they're a dominant buck, so don't mess with me and stay away. Here in Colorado the season ends around the 20-23rd of Sept. This distance averages around 13 inches. The major features that make up a B&C score for a pronghorn: C - Length of Horn, D - circumferences, and E - Length of Prong. Is there a good reference for pronghorn sounds I can get- kinda like elknut's playbook- but for goats? Remember, horns that have pronounced, rounded curves inward with horn tips ending in downward hooks, may be half again as long as they appear to be, while straight horns with little hooks at the very tips will not yield much of a bonus.The prongs of most record-class buck will appear extremely large and will project from the horn at or above the level of the ear tips. It's a BLAST! Therefore, good binoculars and a spotting scope are necessary to evaluate potential trophies at the distances required to avoid spooking them. Antelope make a surprising number of sounds that most hunters have never heard, therefore most have never been described in the literature or videos. Pictured is a great buck I was after early in the season. Good optics and careful use of them will save the hunter many needless stalks when searching for a record-class buck.A major factor in pronghorn trophy quality is seasonal weather. Yes, Lohman did develope the Challange Call and they and Mel completed a pronghorn video using Mel's decoy and Brad Harris (Lohman) calls. ...similar to a bull elk's bugling. He worked with Lohman back in the early 90's (I think) on one of their first pronghorn buck calls (it was a wooden one) that was THE best pronghorn buck call I've ever owned. Pronghorn shed their outer horn sheaths in the fall, leaving a bony core upon which Exceptional mass – bases and 1st Quarter over 7 inches with Slightly above average horn length – both measuring over 16 inches eachAverage mass – bases both over 6 inches and third quarter measurements at 2-4/8 inchesOne of the best ways to improve your field judging skills is to get a strong understanding of scoring a particular animal. Now I just use my own voice. BUT...another good resource - if you can find it - is anything from Mel Dutton. Pronghorn are FASCINATING animals, and dangerously addicting to hunt. Even then, one needs to find the one buck that will come. pronghorn make a metallic whirling sound I know this might sound weird and all but there is a such thing as a pronghorn. They make this … I took another once I realized what was happening but was too late. While not directly related to field evaluation, it may be a factor in where you choose to hunt. The unique pronghorn, its population reduced to some 15,000 head in the early 1900s , is one of America's greatest conservation success stories. Hey Paul Nice lope yes they make all kinds of crazy sounds .. Mel was a great hunter....Harris NOT!......Decoys do work on 'goats'! My experience is that if the decoy and the call is uses too early it will just spook the does and bucks as the bucks are not ready to challange and the does are not in the mood to stay around. The major features that make up a B&C score for a pronghorn: C - Length of Horn, D - circumferences, and E - Length of Prong.The unique pronghorn, its population reduced to some 15,000 head in the early The current B&C scoring system was adopted in 1950 and was first reflected in the 1952 B&C records book. Pronghorn will snort a "single blow" alarm snort (like you said, somewhat similar to whitetails), the bucks will grunt (again, somewhat similar to a whitetail buck - but not as often), and they'll blow challenge calls to other bucks, which might be what you heard. He hung around with a few other small bucks and once in a while I would see him solo. A head with very high prongs may cause the third quarter circumference measurement to be taken below the prong instead of above it, which usually helps As four circumference measurements are taken on each horn, it is obvious that heavy horns are a must for record-book pronghorn. I took the photo about a second too early. If, however, a trophy qualifying for the current B&C all-time records minimum of 82 is the hunter's goal, a buck with 15 to 16 inch horns, 6 to 7 inch bases, and 5 to 6 inch prongs must be found.When guiding and hunting for pronghorn in several states over the past 36 years, I have used the following methods of evaluating the most critical features of trophy heads. Antelope are indeed a very interesting animal and the more I learn the more interesting and fascinating they become. Here's one that came into drink, raised his head, I took his photo and he immediately made their rut challenge call. Or can any of you guys shed some light? Hunters who have attended the pronghorn hunting seminars where I have recommended these methods say they have worked well for them also.Horns should appear to be much longer than the length of the pronghorn's head, measured from base of the ear to tip of nose. Grunts can be heard any time more than one goat is in close proximity to another, but they DEFINITELY pick up and are more common in and around the rut. As viewed from the side, the horn base should appear to be twice the width of the eye, which generally measures a little over 2 inches. This equates to horn base that measures 6 to 7 inches in circumference.Pronghorn are usually found in open country and have exceptional vision. And kind of a wheezy noise, too. As far as resources, we're putting together our "Gallery" of vocalizations on our website, but it won't be ready for a few weeks/months; focused on KS whitetails right now.
