arrow an antelope?

Anyone ever go through an outfitter antelope hunting? I would like to try this, but cant seem to find any reasonable deals. Maybe you could give me some helpful suggestions, I dont want a fully guided hunt, but want a fair chance at an antelope.

I bet for just a small 'tip' you could talk the maintainance man at the zoo to point you towards the correct 'habitat'.

In other words, I really have no idea. You might try the general discussion forum.

A real tough hunt from what I've heard. They stalk antelope to get within 300 hundred yards for a rifle shot and still * them, very wary critters if you ask me I'd go long range with a 308 or something for the first hunt. I don't believe the license are all that much, and they appear to be fairly well populated. just my $.02

My brother in law just went on a antelope hunt (well it was Oct. I think) and he said he would never go again. He said they crawled for hundreds of yards and the lope always stay the same distance away. He came back with bruises all over his legs from crawling on the rocky terrain (Wyoming). He did get one it was with a 270. Then he had to walk like a mile to get it close to a road. Said it was the worst hunt ever. Something about there eye sight being so good you could be 300 yards out behind a bush blink and the whole heard would run off.
To arrow one, just going off of his experience, would be really tough if not impossible. Would you like me to find out were he went or how he found out about it?

I saw someone arrow one on a hunting show once. I think they set up a blind on top of a hole right near a water hole. They were basically shooting at ground level, and just waited for one to come to drink. Maybe you could find an outfitter to set you up like that.

Bang, did your brother go through an outfitter, or public land, private land.... My buddy got one last year in wyoming through an outfitter, they used cardboard cut-outs sat on fence lines and just waited... he got one, but it cost him $2300

My uncle went on a antelope rifle hunt this fall. He actually killed a very nice one. I dion't know if he was allowed to use a bow or not, but the cost was pretty high adn they didn't have a guide service. They went out to private land in wyoming, he also tagged a mule deer.
