That is flat open country right? Must be hard to put the sneak on a antelope.
Yeah it's flat open country where the antelope hang out. Come rifle season it will get difficult to get within a couple hundred yards, right now it's a little easier, but i still haven't been able to get within Bow range. Most people set up a blind near water and wait. I prefer spot and stalk . Belly crawling sure gets harder each year . I had to resort to buying knee pads this year. I guess I got to face the fact that I'm wearing down. A 40 pound pack anymore just about does me in. Not sure how I'm going to handle Mt Lion season this year and that's what I wait for more than all other seasons combined. Such is life
For antelope hunting I use desert camo pants and just a tan long sleeve t shirt to blend in with prairie grass and stubble fields. I made a face mask with a white throat patch like an antelope and I use an antelope head decoy as a hat . Looks funky but gets me fairly close
