Default RE: Pronghorn

I have taken several with a bow and it is a lot of fun. Probably my favorite animal to bowhunt. I lived in western South Dakota for several years and there are a ton of goats out there. The best time to hunt them is the middle of September, they are in the rut at this time and it gives you a few more hunting opitions. Most hunts will be over water holes from blinds, you can also stalk them or use a decoy during the rut. Most of the guided hunts will be between $1500-2000 and have high success rates. If you have never hunted the upper midwest and or antelope a guided hunt may be the way to go the first trip. There is a lot of public land out west and once you know the ropes you should be able to go it alone. I have a friend that runs guided hunts in western SD and can get you a contact number if interested. They do a good job and have a lot of antelope.
