[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1224027, member: 14204"] Antelope is one of my favorite game to hunt. Where I hunt, there's a lot of draws/ravines where they can easily hide and escape. They have a very keen eye sight and as noted they can ran fast and cover a lot of grounds. Most of my successes are near a fence line. Even though they can jump over a fence line, they'll scale the fence line for their best escape route. Find their escape route and take a nice vantage point and wait for the best opportunity. I have seen more game by patiently waiting from my favorite spot than moving them myself. 3 years ago, I took an airman out from GA for his first ever western hunt. His norm shot was on a stand ~50 yards. When we got to my favorite spot, I spotted a small herd about 800 yards or so feeding. When he asked "what do we do now?", I said "take a nap". He said "what?". He thought I was kidding but I set my alarm for a 15 minute snooze. Lo and behold, the herd slowly made it to the fence line in front of us <300 yards. :) Just sharing some of my previous hunts ...
