Just curious what some of you consider to be your tried and true tactic for successful harvesting of the whily North American Pronghorn?

I've been bowhunting forover 10 years and the only big game around here that eludes me is the antelope.

I'm sure that a blind on the waterhole will come in as number one, so lets move past that and offer some alternatives.

Looking forward to hearing from all you.

In my area, there are too many water holes with water to sit on water, believe me 'cause I tried. Seems like we get fall rains that put water in every little mud hole on the plains about the time season starts, giving them too many options.
So, for the last two seasons, I tried to use double bull blinds at fence crossings. The first season I didn't get the blinds up until about 1 week before season started, and the antelope just never excepted them, and instead of using thier well used trails, they basically would force thier way through the fence else where, dispite the fact that I had taken the time to make sure the bottom wires were tied and low. I even witnessed antelope jump the fence, instead of using thier normal fence crossings. I did have two small bucks cross infront of a blind one time, and it was because a large buck hazed them to me. I had the blinds about 35-40 yards from the crossings. Seemed like the antelope would get about 100 yards or so from the blind and sometimes almost panic trying to find another way through the fence.
SO, the last two years, I ended up using the 'ol spot and stalk method. 2 years ago I shot a 12" buck and last year I shot a nice healthy doe. The fun thing about spot and stalk is the fact that if you flub a stalk, it doesn't take long to spot another antelope and you're right back in the game. I usually tried to find single animals, as is often the case with the better bucks before the rut kicks in. Around here, it seems like the early archery season is well ahead of the rut. I tried decoys during Sept. archery season, with no luck. As a matter of fact, the rut seems to be in full steam during Oct. rifle season, and I think that would be the best/worst time to use decoys. Best because it would probably work well, BUT worst because you'd liable to get shot from a rifle that is a quarter mile away![&:]
