Post by Curtisshootsdeer » Sat Jul 27, 2013 5:16 pm

Is it hard to hunt antelope??

Kind of an open ended question...

Where are you hunting and by what method (???)
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.

Getting a tag is half the battle. Once you have a tag, killing an antelope is generally easy compared to hunting other animals. Trying to find an exceptional antelope is very hard.----SS

Springville Shooter is right on unless your in Wyoming than the tag thing is not an issue only finding a decent buck. try hunting with a decoy or in a blind next to water and you will do fine.

I am wondering how hard AZ antelopes are

It's not hard. We didn't use any water or decoys and did just fine. We found some sage brush where the loaps were coming over a ridge and hunkered down. Biggest one killed was an 11 1/2" buck. We had 10"ers running by plenty of times. Like the others said, though, finding a good buck is a little hard. Just like with any other species though, if you're not used to hunting them a medium sized buck can look like a big one.

Is it true that you can easily overshoot antelope

Do you use calls or super camo or what?
