Im usually more of a lurker on here, but wanted to share my antelope hunt, as im enjoying seeing everyone's photos.
I found it to be a tough hunt, but was thankful to harvest an antelope on the fourth day!
Most of the permission I had lined up was for grazing leases and pastures.
We quickly discovered that most of the antelope were on crop fields and not the grasslands/pastures (in the area we hunted anyways).
I blew a stalk on opening morning on a good sized herd with a couple nice bucks.
It seemed they were in pretty sizable groups (10-20 was common and several 30-40) which made stalks a little bit more of a challenge.
The snow also made for an interesting hunt, it was more like deer hunting in late November than the dry, warm prairie hunt I had imagined.
We happened upon this group on a field that was perfect for a stalk, and thanks to a very obliging landowner I was able to make a quick crawl through the snow and come over a ridge about 100 yards from the herd.
Waited 15 minutes for him to stand up, and it was all over!
We also found all the other hunters we encountered to be really friendly, willing to share info, etc, including a couple local guys that put us on a herd that didn't quite have what they were looking for. Everyone just seemed to be out enjoying themselves, which was awesome to see!
