Ochoco Antelope

Well, I drew the Ochoco unit after 12 years. I've done a little homework like looking at some maps and spoke with the local biologist. I will be heading up the 1st weekend of August to scout...6 hour drive roughly. I've never been in the area but have heard the Big Summit, Little summit etc are good spots. I will be mentoring my 10 year old daughter on this hunt and it'll be her 1st, she's the youngest of my 5 kids and hope a speedgoat will hook her for life like my other kids. So, the big question. Tips on where to try? Any help or advice would be awesome...I will be bringing my truck and camper so a nice place to camp would be awesome..my only concern is all the people heading from out of town to watch the eclipse so I would like her to get one preferably opening weekend or early 1st week. Thanks in advance.

You'll have to do some digging, but there is a large chunk of ground directly east of Post where I saw several very large bucks several years back. It's not BLM or forest but I was told at one time there was some sort of walk in access. Kind of vague but may be worth looking into, maybe someone on hear knows more?

Alkali flats, state and BLM land. that's where about half the hunters will be opening morning. what doesn't get shot will be on private pretty fast.
