Title: Decoy or Real Antelope.....Pic
Post by: joe skipp on October 18, 2007, 04:51:00 PM
My son and I were going over some photos and we came across this one. Steven asked if this was a decoy or real "Goat"....Note the side mirror on the truck......

Don't know why, but something about it looks phony.

I think it's real.  I have taken many pictures like that out of the truck window.  I think the light was just right to almost make it look like a decoy.  Decent buck though.

I'd shoot him first, then sort out whether he's real or not.....  :bigsmyl:  

But.....that one's real!

Looks kinda fake but then sometimes people go a little overboard adjusting sharpness, contrast, etc in photoshop and they come out looking like that.

If it's fake it's an amazing reproduction.

Real. There's a bit of a glint in the eyes, that makes it look real. If it is a fake, that's incredible.

Its real or a full bogy mount. I just saved the photo over to another program and zoomed way in on it you can se hairs sticking up off of him.

OK Fellas...thats a real Antelope. We were on our way to Elk camp when this guy came charging across the road chasing another smaller buck.

I stopped the truck and took this photo. He just trotted off...didn't have a "goat" tag on me...

The little fuzzie fringes of hair on the edges give him away.

The hairline from the front leg up the neck seems too defined... not "hairy" enough, but it certainly could be real.  I drove a truck up to four antelope last week.  I got to under fifty yards, and they didn't move a muscle.  Then they dashed off real quick. (I didn't realize how small they were!)
