Don't let low cutters fool you, as you you will still get two circumference measurements under the cutters. When I'm looking at a pronghorn, I look for horns that really hook over at the top, because a nice deep hook means a ton more length. This is what really fools people ( yea that pronghorn doesn't look very talk, but he really hooks over) that what you think looks like a 13" tall horn could be a 15 1/2" just because of a deep hook. Then I look for weight and then good cutters. This can fool you too. Just because he doesn't have good cutters doesn't mean the cutters won't score good. A pronghorn with lots of weight probably has better cutters than you think the cutters are just lost in the weight. Pronghorn are one of the most difficult to judge.
