Good luck. I think you will be able to smack a fantastic buck. There's not a whole lot of tags out there and I didn't see any other antelope hunters when I got mine last year.

A good pair of gloves that can handle some cactus, etc. Some guys even go as far as bringing knee pads for cactus, but I havent used them when hunting. Archery hunting you'd probably use them more but if you do enough stalks you'll end up putting your hands, knees, hips, etc into a cactus sooner or later lol.

Hmmm great tip on the kneepads...
?..? What does a respectable pronghorn buck look like? 12 inch horns? Lol a wing and a prayer..
The rifle is on...any oopses will be operator error..

Dont worry only about length. Just like all horned game, mass can make up a ton of scoring.
That country can produce...aim for a heavy buck with good 'cutters/prong' and anything in the 13-15" range starts being a great trophy. I've seen some hogs that score amazingly well and are only 13" long. A 15" skinny buck with a small prong may score less than the same heavier 'short' buck.
Take a look at Silver Sage's website to give you an idea of what some big bucks look like. Hold your finger off the trigger and you'll get comfy looking at a bunch of bucks until you find the 'right' one....

Shooting sticks. They can make the difference in having a shot.
Imo, Leather gloves and knee pads are a must. Get the knee pads covered with a layer of hard leather to stop the spines.
Think twice and look three times before sitting down. DO NOT scurry along dragging your butt.
Bring some pins and tweezers for a nightly round of cactus needle removal.
