Best antelope decoy dates?

[nontypical234]

LAST EDITED ON Jul-22-07 AT 08:28PM (MST)[p]I drew a really good antelope tag in Wyoming and will be planning a DIY, archery decoy hunt and was wondering what you guys think the best time to decoy a herd buck would be. Would you do a pre-rut, rut or post rut hunt? Peak rut = more does to bust your stalk? Pre rut maybe the big bucks aren't aggressive enough? Post rut maybe their too pooped? Does the rut have to do with photoperiodism like deer so that I could plan on historic dates for the best activity?
Thanks very much!

here in north dakota for bow hunting with a decoy we try and go when the rut is full bore. they seem more fired up and aggressive and like to try and attack the decoy.
