mz antelope hunt

bpnclark · Sep 17, 2012

Had a great time hunting in Idaho for antelope, but we were not able to take one home. The closest we got to a buck was 150 yards, and our average was around 200. We were shooting a old style 22? barrel cap gun, so we needed to get a little closer and couldn't. But we had a blast doing +6 stalks a day. Learned a lot about using a decoy, and how to hide with nothing to hide behind! We spent so much time using the decoys we named one.

So thank you Idaho for a great time!!! And thanks smokepoler63!!! Your info really helped out!

Thanks guys. I'm glad no one took my photo serious. The photos get worse when your depressed and have a iphone in the field....

Hilarious, got a good laugh from the pics. I got the doe tag for that unit for November, so I'll get some revenge for you.

Ryan, glad you had a great time. These goats can be very tough to get within range of. Sometimes letting them come to you is more effective than stalking, but I have a hard time sitting on stand very long. I'm not patient enough to sit in a blind in the heat all day.

I love your photos and sense of humor. Like I said in the email, the pronghorn in bordering units haven't been hunted yet. They won't stand around like that after the first few hours of Sep. 25th.

I'm glad I could help you out and that my info saved you time. Take care and good luck on your remaining hunts.

Smokepoler63, Eric

Sorry to here you did not bag a antelope. I know you had a ball anyway. Thanks for sharing. I have hunted the antelope with muzzleloader for the past three or four times in Wyoming and it does make it a interesting.
