hillbillyhunter1,

My brother wasn't in the normal drawing as such, but he bought the raffle tickets that the state sells for all the big game animals (Montana Super Raffle). It cost him $5 for each ticket and he got the only state wide tag issued, hunt whenever there is an open season andwith any weapon tag. So he is looking to try and find a real trophy antelope is possible. I know that most of the really big antelope run around 16", but I also know that there are some that go another couple inches bigger but you just have to find the right spot.

I hunted eastern MT for antelope for 5 years back in the middle 80's when I was stationed there in the Air Force and we had a blast hunting speed goats. I just hope it works out for him to get a real trophy if possible.
