Yeah, I know. Antelope always takes a back seat to Elk in Colorado (I live there, too, only the Army has me in Virginia this year...no antelope). Where are you going?

I have a friend who lives in Hugo. He's got some feelers out with property owners out there to see if they'll let me hunt on private land when I get back next year.

It really pizzes me off that it seems you have to have one or two preference points to get a tag! There are so many antelope they almost seem like a pest out east.

Hmmm...perhaps I'll take one with a muzzleloader next year? I've hunted with mine before, but never for antelope. That would require a bit more challenge. I don't shoot the frontstuffer out beyond about 100 yards. The gun is capable of more, but I'm not without optics, and it doesn't have any!
