World record pronghorn
Trophy hunter Mike Gallo’s pronghorn scoring 96 4/8 Boone and Crockett points has been certified
as the new B&C world record. It surpassed the existing record by 1 1/2 inches—a huge margin. Two Arizona antelope were tied for the previous record of 95 B&C points. Gallo shot the animal in Socorro County, New Mexico, in September 2013.
The left horn of the new record antelope measures 18 4/8 inches, and the right horn measures 18 3/8 inches. The prongs measure 7 inches on the right and 6 5/8 inches on the left.
Gallo is no stranger to the record books. In addition to the world record, he has killed the top three pronghorns in New Mexico. The state ranks second in overall B&C pronghorn entries after Wyoming.

All About Giant Pronghorn Antelope

Many hunters overlook antelope in favor of their larger and (presumed) sexier western cousins. I would argue that the general population doesn’t know that antelope actually aren’t antelope. “Pronghorn” is their official name, and believe it or not, they are more closely related to giraffes than African antelope. Truly, no other animal in North America is closely related to them on the family tree. They are a species that stands alone.
Giant pronghorn bucks don’t carry the same characteristics as branch-antlered game animals. Huge elk and bully deer mesmerize us with their salacious baskets of points – long and even gaudy at times. In the case of elk, the difference between an average 5-point bull and a world record can be hundreds of inches – over 10 feet of added length over another

bull! The difference between average antelope and their biggest brothers is accentuated from one drool-worthy quality: mass.
Sure, record book goats look longer and taller than the average buck, but compared to elk – and even deer –
