Antelope advice

[Oklahomabassin]

I will be going to the panhandle antelope hunting in September. This will be an archery hunt. And No I am not paying the outfitter. I have acquired permission through a friend on several acres. I haven't been around antelope any, but I have did a little research and have come up with a few things that should help.

Water holes find a water hole they use and get there before sun up in an enclosed blind and stay all day. My question is... does it help to set up a blind early for the goats to get used to?

Find a low spot or open gate in a fence line as the prefer to go under rather than jump over.

White rag on a stick. Does this work for archery range?

How good is there nose?

Look for the low spots in the fence as antelope go under not over. I'm sure they could jump over a house they just don't. That's why some landowners hate 'em because they loosen bottom strands.

yes; a hay bale blind at a water hole is popular, and should be made way before season.

Windmills are also good places for treestands, if they are sturdy enough.

I never took an antelope, but I used to work part time at a archery shop for a guy who had like 8 P&Y pronghorns.

I've taken quite a few antelope in South Dakota and I don't think they depend on their nose as much as a whitetail. That said they will wind you but not as quick as a whitetail. We use the stalking method out there and have got close enough to take them with a handgun.
