How are the Antelope numbers in 102/118? Have the numbers in general come up the last few years? Looking at pulling my Archery draw this year but would rather hold off if the numbers are still low. Thanks.
Hunted the area last year for 3 solid days seen 4 decent size herds up to around 30-40 Lopes was my first time ever in the area so can't comment on previous years.
Not impressed with the numbers. Where we have hunted deer in 102 the last two years, I'm not sure we are even seeing 20% of the antelope I saw in 1988 when I first hunted there. Kind of depressing. I love hunting antelope.
The numbers are ok not great. But there are some good sized antelope running around. Tough to find but still a reasonable chance of getting one in the mid 70's.
We hunted there last year and there were enough animals to have a fun hunt. I missed some shots otherwise I'd have succeeded. This winter isn't over yet, so anything can happen but if it's a decent winter you'll have animals to hunt.
