Anyone out there chase antelope with a bow? I tried it for the first time last year and had a good time. I used a decoy and shot over a nice buck at thirty yards. He came hard into the decoy, but when he saw me draw he hit the breaks and bounced off before stopping and giving me an easy shot (I choked big time).
The decoy worked well, but it was hard to hunt those guys when I was surrounded by bucks. One time I had a nice buck coming in when from just behind me another one had come in undetected. He stayed out about sixty yards and just snorted, and kept the other guy from coming in.
Unfortunately by the time the rut was in full swing I was focused on a muley I had found, so I never did get a goat. Next year I think I am going to try a water hole that I know some antelope, as well some nice muleys were using last season.
Anybody have some tips or good stories to share?
