I have only hunted antelope once and that was with a rifle. I would recommend you bring a good portable pop up blind and find a well used water hole and make sure you can make good killing shots out to @ 50 yds.

i hunted em in Gillette WY... Eastern part of the state, they are tough to hunt. Bring a ground blind and sit at a water hole and you'll be successful. Ive shot two of them w/ a bow, and the closest one was 35, the furthest was 40.

So practice far, and learn how to judge a good buck when you see it. Typicall you want the horns twice as tall as the ears and the bases bigger than the eyes, like deer wider is better

Sure you can spot and stalk if the terrain permits it. Antelope have vision like nothing else. We would spot a herd about 1 mile away and when we put the 50x spotter on them they were all standing up looking straight at us. If you can use cover to get close you definitely can stalk them. I stalked one herd to @ 50 yds myself and could have gotten closer.
