There are no missable trophies, and no choices in this. If you’re going for trophies, then you will want to speed through the novel as quick as you can. It offers an amazing story that should be experienced post the platinum, as you will be surprised what beholds “ Robin Liyun works as a part-time gondolier to make ends meet.” Roadmap MAXIMUM VS.Playthrough: 1 Story + Memory IntroductionĪquadine is a short sweet visual novel developed by SoftColors, and published by Ratalaika Games. A mild winter coupled with a warm, wet spring, and early summer providing abundant feed can result in much larger horns than will a severe winter and drought conditions the next summer. Pronghorn shed their outer horn sheaths in the fall, leaving a bony core upon which regrowth of horn material soon begins. While not directly related to field evaluation, it may be a factor in where you choose to hunt. Good optics and careful use of them will save the hunter many needless stalks when searching for a record-class buck.Ī major factor in pronghorn trophy quality is seasonal weather.
Therefore, good binoculars and a spotting scope are necessary to evaluate potential trophies at the distances required to avoid spooking them. Pronghorn are usually found in open country and have exceptional vision. This equates to horn base that measures 6 to 7 inches in circumference. 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. The eyes of a pronghorn are located directly below the horn base, so they are a convenient feature to judge horn mass. 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 helpsĪs four circumference measurements are taken on each horn, it is obvious that heavy horns are a must for record-book pronghorn. Prongs are measured to the rear edge of the horn they project from, so a 6-inch prong will appear to extend about four inches from a heavy horn - or twice the width of the horn viewed from the side. 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. 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. If the horns appear to be 2-1/2 to 3 times the ear length, which averages 6 inches, they are probably long enough. 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. Hunters who have attended the pronghorn hunting seminars where I have recommended these methods say they have worked well for them also.
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. 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. A pronghorn with heavy 14-inch horns and four-inch prongs will score about 70 points and is a trophy no one need be ashamed of.
