My buddy and I have called in a few from time to time. It can work. Decoy's can work but can scare them just as bad sometimes. Pick your ambush close to cover first of all and learn to almost double your distance on shooting capability. Antelopes have about 315 degree vision. It is not hard to stalk into shooting range if you watch the antelope long enough to see the direction that the goat is feeding and get ahead of him and intercept him. Don't always work. But if your gonna stalk one it's one of the best methods.

Once not long ago a buddy and me put the slip on an ole goat by having me off in the distance waving my hand in the air while he came around behind the antelope and took a shot at 37yds. He missed the shot but we chalked it up as a future method that could work often. You have to keep the antelope attention even if it means making noise and speeding up the hand movement just to keep him looking in your direction.


Waterholes is the best.
