This year I am going to be hunting antelope in Colorado with my bow. I was wondering how people hunt antelope with a bow. Or any tips any one has for me.

find a real dry area that has lots of antelope, find their waterhole and sit and wait!!

Because we all know how antelope would like to live in the rain forest. 
Sorry killer I couldn't resist poking a little fun at ya.

I would recommend hunting the third week of September(if Colorado archery season allows) when the speed goats are in rut. Use a decoy..I have taken two pronghorn's by bow with a decoy...one scored 77 4/8". There is nothing like the adrenalin rush when the speed goat comes running... straight to the decoy from 100 yards. Get ready when the speed goat stops you have just a few seconds to let the arrow fly. Good luck.

I have used a couple of decoys:
The Mel Dutton collapsible decoy, great for taking with you on a plane to your hunting destination. I have had modest results with the Mel Dutton decoy.
When I drive to the hunting destination I take a 3 dimensional full body antelope decoy. I can't remember the name of the manufacturer. A buddy of mine rifle shot a small buck and gave me the horns a few years ago and I epoxied some screws in the base of the horns. I can screw the horns in the head of the antelope doe when the goats are really in rut and challenging small spike bucks. The full body decoy definitely works better. I have the option of using a doe decoy when the bucks are curious and a buck decoy when the bucks are in rut and challenging.

If you are talking about a full body antelope decoy, I believe the only company that ever made one was Flambeau. I don't believe they make it anymore.

Theres a carry-lite decoy in the Cabelas archery cat.
What do yall think. Looks lot more realistic than the mel dutton model.
