Where to hunt?

[Topgun 30-06]

You can walk in off the roads a mile or so and do fine. Like was mentioned , most people seem to try and just drive the roads to hunt antelope and there are some good ones to be had if you walk and do spot and stalk. That's the most fun anyway IMHO. Also, wait until the end of the first week to get out there and you will cut the crowds by 75%. Just do some hunting, instead of wasting a lot of expensive gas driving all day and you will do fine.

Over the last 35 years or so, I have found that to be successful at antelope hunting, you should enjoy the country-side and take a walk. Leave the traveled road and look in the valleys and rolling hills some distance from your vehicle. I am 75 years old and am somewhat handicapped and usually manage to get 1/4 to 1/2 mile from any road and get my fieldglasses going. I hunt "public" ground most of the time, although I enjoy hunting with many ranchers in the west I have befriended thru the years.

We (thats you and me) are a nation of hunters. And Antelope hunting is always as much fun as we can make it!

Go for it.

What is the going rate for a tresspass fee ?

[Topgun 30-06]

It varies all over the place. Some might charge a flat fee of $100 a person per day, while the adjoining place might be double that, but for a three or four day time period. Then you also might find a place with a very minimal charge for the trespass fee, but then they tack on a decent amount if you take an animal on the ranch. About the only thing you can do is call prospective ones and find out their pricing system.
