The fun part about spot and stalk hunting antelope, is that you're in the game all the time. In other words, the country they live in is wide open, so if you blow a stalk, do some glassing, spot the next target and get after it. You get to see animals from sun up to sun down. It's certainly not easy, but in my case, it was about the only option. A decoy will certainly work, if the rut is in full force. Here in CO., where I hunt, the rut was not really started yet. Several bucks still hanging together, very little chasing, and there was too much water to sit a water hole for days! We also tried fence crossings, which would work, but we needed to get our blinds up early in the season for them to get used to them, BUT we didn't, so they didn't work. Anyways, my buddy and I both scored a day apart. We didn't gut either one, in simply de-boned the antelope shortly after the kill. Antelope are good eating, or at least the ones that I have ate.

This first pic. is mine, notice the knee pads and the white things are my home made elbow/arm/wrist pads. There is cactus about every where, so if you're going to spot and stalk, ya better have protection from cactus.
I got mine from a herd of nine late in the evening as they fed. The second pic. is my buddy's. He got his mid afternoon from a herd of 6 bucks.

It's a blast. You see animals all day. BUT it wasn't/isn't easy. We walked many miles each day! It's usually hot, and the hunt will test ya. I highly recommend trying it though!!
