Antelope Hunting Help
 

I got 2 really nice bucks coming into a waterhole where I have no cover to sit it in or bury my blind in. I am concerned about putting the blind out in the open. Has anyone had any luck with just putting the blind up with no cover around.

Lots of people do this and the antelope do not seem to be bothered by the ground blinds. Put it up for a few days and then hunt out of it to give them a chance to get used to it. Make sure you have the backside windows closed so they can not catch any movement. They can see movement for miles.

Did you ever try the method suggested???? I killed goats in ID and MT this year the same day I popped up the blind. Black clothes in the blind help out alot too!!!!!

We chased goats for a week. We decoyed one in after a stalk and got him at 48 yards. Passed up many many small ones coming to the decoy. Never got a shooter near the popup blind. Did have a 10 incher come to about 3 feet on a natural blind made from bushes. SHot a 12 incher last year and wasn't shooting smaller in 07.

Guide tells me that the popup has no effect on the goats.

That may be true if the pop up blind is at the ONLY water for miles, BUT I sat blinds up at well used fence crossings and at water two years straight and saw goats force their way through fences that they had never crossed through before and I watched antelope avoid one water source only to walk another 1/2 mile to drink in another, just to avoid coming near a blind.
