Default RE: Oklahoma Antelope

They're active all day long, which makes them fun to hunt, no need to be up at sunrise and out til sundown.

They'll be near water, i forget if its, 1,2 or 4mi radius of a water source.

Anything in the .243-.270 range would be ideal goat gun, soft bullets that expand fairly quickly are ideal, otherwise you'll punch right through them.

They're fun to hunt, not too difficult, if you have more than a couple days to hunt them, you'll get them figured out.

Having the sun at your back I think is good, makes them more curious/hard to see you in the glare of the sun in my view, they're curious so they may come to you....., though if they're between you and the sun, they spot you very easily, with you inbetween them and the sun, much bettter.

Good luck, shouldn't be too tough to get on them/figured out. I'd say 200yd shots are common/avg.

Read up on how to judge a mature goat, they're very difficult to judge.
