Default RE: antelope strategies

I'll be going out next weekend to set up my three blinds. Two of them will be at fence crossings and the third will be at a water source. This will give the goats a little over three weeks to adjust to the blinds. I also play spot and stalk. Normally, antelope will be up and feeding until around 10 a.m., then they will bed down, for several hours, before getting up again to move and feed. SO, use the morning hours to spot, then get yourself into a closer proximity, and then when they bed down, make your move. They are very good about laying with thier backs to the wind so they can watch the area that they can't smell danger.
Depending on if your hunting the rut period, a decoy can do wonders too. Where I hunt them, they don't go into the rut until after archery season!
