I've hunted antelope most years since the mid '70s in Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, and all DIY on public land or Montana Block Management land. Antelope meat is good if you properly take care and process it. My girlfriend and I like both the steaks and burger that I make from it.

I think that antelope are one of the easiest animals to hunt, especially if you're not afraid to walk. Most rifle hunting is spot and stalk, but many bow hunters are successful every year hunting from blinds near water.

One year when my son was younger, he and I (in our orange pumpkin vests) and my Golden Retriever were sitting in the sagebrush near a barb wire fence. We watched a half dozen antelope on our side of the fence, come from over 1/4 mile away and they fed by us close enough that we could hear them chewing. I wanted a bigger buck so we just sat still and let them go by us.
