We ran into one guy that kept screwing us up on our stocks on lopers. He figured you could just walk out in plain sight of them and get a shot off! The government gave a way too many tags out in the zone you were in the number of hunters out numbered the number of lopers.
For three mornings I started off in the dark in a blind overseeing a large area. Spotting. I had a way out of the blind to stalk in any direction. At day break every day I could see the dust and procession of pickups a mile away cruising the roads in search of...yeah there were many hunters out there but there are many antelope out there as well. Saw 200+ antelope. It is getting to be a once in a lifetime hunt for many or even unobtainable for some......can't blame guys for not being the most proficient antelope hunters. Lots of guys have never seen a pasture so big you can see your dog run away for a month. I saw one other hunter outside of a pickup.

Antelope and eggs for breakfast...
