Unit 45 Pronghorn help

I drew an Archery Pronghorn tag for this unit. I've seen plenty of Pronghorn along Hwy 20 in Fairfield and both west and east of there.

For those of you who have hunted it, do these Pronghorn come of the private property? I've seen most of them right along the Hwy but very few on my trips back in there a bit.

I wasn't really looking for pronghorn at the time but they are hard to miss and it seems all of them were closer to the road.

I located a bunch of waterholes on Google earth and will be up there the next few weekends checking them out.
If anyone has any experience in this unit and would be willing to share some info let me know.

You can PM me if you want to keep it private.

There is access yes land and the land owners are very receptive to antelope hunters.

All the pronghorn you see in the Fairfield area are north of the highway are in unit 44 and south is the portion of unit 45 that is in the camas creek drainage and thus closed to your tag

Sorry, I wasn't clear. All the Pronghorn I was talking about are on the south side of Hwy 20 in Unit 45.

Yea but that is the camas creek drainage in 45 and it is specifically excluded from the unit 45 pronghorn hunts. You have to be west of hill city somewhere before you are out of the camas creek drainage and to the east of Fairfield you'll almost have to go to unit 52, there will still be antelope but not near the numbers that are up on camas prairie. Just trying to help you avoid any trouble

I saw the Camas prairie exclusion and was wondering what the boundaries were? I'm going to look that up.
No wonder all the Pronghorn are on the private area. It's a giant refuge.

Thanks for the heads up.

It's part of the 21a-1 tag and the 44 rifle tag

I used to hunt 2 areas off of for antelope in 45. Take the eastern most mountain home exit and head north, there's a couple dirt roads on the right, take the first one and walk between there and the interstate. There are flood channels all thru there that you can't see from the interstate and the antelope like to cruise in them. At the very end of the main channel I'm talking about there used to be a water hole every year BUT by the time the season starts it's usually dry so don't rely on it. Also there is a huge colvert that goes under the interstate over there and they cross under it to (a good spot for a trail cam...). Patients pays in there, if you see them while scouting then they'll show up eventually. Use the channels to ur advantage cause they definetly have the upper hand in the flat country. O also look for big sagebrush groups and glass them hard, they like to lay in them. Makes a tough stalk when there bedded......
The 2nd place is the wind farm immediately north of that spot (the first wind mills you come to) they used to let us hunt there also, even with a blind in there crop field lol. Hope this helps
