Ive never actually arrowed a antelope, but have watched them all my life. They are too expensive to hunt in Texas. The only times ive ever got within bow range was with flags and watching water holes. Not sure if the flag trick will work everywhere, but here in Texas, when you find a herd, you can tie a strip of cloth on a fence, or on a tall weed, so it will wave in the wind. Set down wind of that flag and some times the antelopes get curious and will move in to see what it is. Like I said, ive never hunted them, but that little trick use to draw them close to us so we could take pictures.
