Being there during the peek of rut with a decoy will do it , they get stupid , otherwise groundblind and a water hole are the ticket

Although here in Wyoming were I live you don't have to get up high to find another group. You usually can see about 4 to 5 different groups in one valley over the next hill there are another hundred or more. They are like flies out here. I have about 30 of them in my yard and out back in the field.

Ive never actually arrowed a antelope, but have watched them all my life. They are too expensive to hunt in Texas. The only times ive ever got within bow range was with flags and watching water holes. Not sure if the flag trick will work everywhere, but here in Texas, when you find a herd, you can tie a strip of cloth on a fence, or on a tall weed, so it will wave in the wind. Set down wind of that flag and some times the antelopes get curious and will move in to see what it is. Like I said, ive never hunted them, but that little trick use to draw them close to us so we could take pictures.

HI Burnie,
I just got home from an antelope hunt in NW SD (almost on the SD-MT border). No luck. But here's what I learned about hunting water holes...be ready. When they decide to come in, they come in fast. They're jumpy when they water, and usually won't stick around too long. Like somebody posted, practice long and hope for a short.

I had a fawn try to nurse off a doe at <20yds, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.
