Default RE: antelope hunting?

Last summer, I went out for a day up north near the Idaho border. I found antelope all over the place. One doe that I got a pic of was in the foothills in sagebrush no taller than my ankles. I also came across a few does that were hanging out in the aspens. Later in the day, I found one buck high in the Juniper trees. Its amazing how many different habitat types antelope will use. I would bet that putting a tree stand in some lower elevation quakies near a water hole would be very productive.

This is the buck that we came across in the juniper trees. Kinda hard to see but he is near the top of the ridge to the left. He was about 75 yds away when I took the picture.


This doe was right next to the road when I saw her. I stopped the truck got out, and was able to walk within 10 yds of her. She finally realized what I was and then split until she got to about 100 yds away and then she stopped.


Sorry that the pics aren't that great, but I only had a one time use camera, and I don't have enough money to invest in a real good one, so my picture taking opportunites are very limited.
