clothing colours for archery Antelope hunting
Hi all, I was wondering if any of you change your clothing colours for hunting Antelope, arechery hunting to be specific. I have heard of all sorts of things from a white sheet to just plain camo. Anyone have any tried and true tested clothing secrets? I do plan to use the Ultimate Predator bow mounted decoy so hopefully not much of my clothing is showing on a stalk but Im a bit wider than my decoy... LOL
Thanks for any clothing tips.
Cheers,
SS

I've never bothered with camo for goats. Just use dried grass/sage coloured clothes.... and rub in a bit of dirt.

If you use your typical bush camo like Realtree you won't believe how much you will stand out on the prairie...will look very dark at a distance...light tan colour works well, don't necessarily need camo...IMHO

Thanks guys. I'm thinking my tan bird hunting pants will work good.
I am grabbing a set of those carpenter knee pads for knee protection. I guess I better remember some tweezers for removing *****ly things at night... LOL

Tan will probably be quite dark compared to the grass. Any general men's clothing store will have pants in light straw/ pale cream colours...
Make sure those pads will stay put when crawling with them on. Sports pads will work better than carpenter pads. Glue on some leather, or apply a few layers of gorilla tape.
Tweezers are useless, use a knife.

light gray with a little very light green blends with sage nicely. Also works well in poplars

I plan on using a decoy so I was thinking that I should wear colors like that of an antelope to look like one/blend in with the decoy, not camo to blend in with the surrounding foilage. Is this wise thinking or am I over thinking it? Sorry for all the silly questions, this could be the first/last archery antelope hunt I do so want to give it my best. (Due to draw times and my age)
Thanks again for the input, much appreciated.

Ride a horse and you can ride right up to them.

We have considered it. I have noticed that the antelope seem to hang out by some of the elk out there as well. Maybe I hide behind an elk decoy as well. LOL
