Spot and stalk antelope with archery gear is one of the toughest challenges in the outdoors. If you spend some time getting burned by them, suddenly, elk seem much easier!
I have shot a two does the last two years. They are my favorite game animal to eat 100%. I have 3 antelope tags this year and can't wait to replenish the goods!
Your first year can seem pretty overwhelming, but you'll start to figure it out, or never do it again. Seems like 90% of the traffic is gone after opening weekend, and after elk starts, you'll have the place to yourself. Don't be picky. If you get a good shot, take it. Get use to missing, they make whitetails look slow.
Have fun and carry water on you! I have been pinned down for hours, with my pack a few hundred yards away.
