[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 312340, member: 11717"] Antelope are a plains animal and they depend mostly on their vision and speed for protection. They will be on the plains all year from a blowing -40 to a sweltring 100. I was having a little bit of fun with ya about the cold weather, but there is definitely a chance for it to be sub zero and blowing. Usually when it's really cold, there isn't much wind, but ND and SD are known to be breezy. I would not choose to hunt antelope in Jan, but if I had some room in hte freezer (which I almost always do) I would go out and shoot a couple of alphalpha fed does in a heart beat, but no sage goats. Try to get the earlier hunt, you might shoot a nice buck and the weather will likely be a lot nicer. You could luck out and get some 30-40 wether in Jan, but not likely. In any case, you will probably in a truck most of the time until you spot some. It shouldn't take you any more than 30 min to shoot them and have them dressed and in the back of the truck. Enjoy yourself and take warm clothes :) [/QUOTE]
