[QUOTE="1moredeer, post: 2221869, member: 112951"] My Dad, brother and myself have all been drawn for the Oklahoma panhandle Antelope hunt over the years. I was the first one of us to draw and scored on a beautiful 12 3/4” ivory tipped buck with a perfect heart on his head. My Dad and brother both scored on nice bucks as well on their respective hunts. The land is flat for the most part and you can see for miles except into the small folds and rises in the land. Unless you have permission (usually requiring a trespass fee) on private property, you will be hunting on federal and state property. These blocks are laid out in square miles, usually with a windmill for water on it and multiple cross fences leading back to the windmill. The blocks are leased out for grazing cattle. When I hunted, I hunted the public ground. My Dad and brother both paid a trespass fee. There is a lot of competition on the public land even though there is a lot of it. Those paying trespass fees are often on private property surrounded by public which they can also hunt. It’s probably one of the most enjoyable hunts I’ve ever done. You are spotting and stalking not setting in a stand like hunting white tails. If I were going on this hunt I would take a flat shooting rifle that I know inside and out (I shot mine with a 270 win at 542 yds), top end glass and a good range finder, knee pads and leather gloves for crawling, and a lot of patience. I wouldn’t use a decoy on public land for safety reasons. All of the hype you hear about their eyesight is absolutely true. They can bust you from over a mile and leave you thinking it’s impossible to get in on them. Shoot me a pm if you have specific questions. [/QUOTE]
