TNHagies,

I have only shot 5 antelope so I am no expert. I have learned thatthe cutter should be above the ears to be a decent size buck. I shot a 13"er in Wyoming this year so you can see I'm not a trophy hunter, not that I don't look for big bucks though!!

What part of Virginia are you from?? I grew up in Western Maryland, but left when I went in the service in 1980.

Good luck.
