Who has managed to tag a speed goat?
I got a small buck two or three years ago. They are a lot of fun to hunt but you need some luck on your side too. Never tried hunting them from a blind, but that is probably a more successful tactic.

one of a bunch I've stalked and killed. Far more that way than from a blind
Charlie, how in th world did you get close enough with their eyes to spot and stalk
My September buck. The taxidermist just emailed me the finished picture.

I found the novel thread, started by Charlie Lamb, if you're interested in a real Winter's read....

[attachment=1] this is my 2009 Ca Antelope.
Blake, I love the classic, heart shaped horns.
DXH... the secret (if there is one) is to find them in/near cover you can use to your advantage. That is more often terrain than any kind of foliage. The buck in the picture was found to be watering at a small stream bordered by willows.
Antelope can be very habitual in their travels and that can be capitalized on.
Stalked this one ,shot 11 yards, back when I was a young man.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190118/11a922bf94e88ff80928fac663802ae7.jpg)

I took this one a number of years ago in Douglas Wyoming with my Robertson bow. It was one of the best hunts I have been on. Six of us bowhunters went out and all 6 of us tagged out. It was really a great time and great hunt. I hope to go back this year, but this time with my longbow.

I have taken a bunch of em over the years, love it!
Hi Mike those are some very nice Lopes. Did they all come from your state or else where? Also did you spot and stalk or from a water hole or blind? Thanks for sharing.

Takedown osage selfbow in Wyoming
Nice Pronghorn guys!
I'm pretty jealous guys. I've harvested 2 with a rifle.
Making me want to give it a go with the stickbow
What is ya'lls set up? Poundage etc for these shots and how far were they typically
Awesome pictures! Would love to have a chance at one of these guys someday.
Man, that's awesome guys. I have had an obsession with antelope for the last 6 months. This isn't helping
[attachment=1] Here is a buck I shot back in '97, in Greeley Co. Watched him all day, shot him just before dark. Coyotes found him before I did. Memorable hunt, shared with Lon Lauber, Mike Palmer, Chuck Eisenhower, and Fred Eichler. Gotta get back after em again!

Wow, clean as a whistle!!!!!!
The buck in the picture was taken with a 60# bow of my own manufacture. I've been shooting antelope since I was in my late twenties and back in those days I almost always used bows of 70# and more. I'm sure everyone will tell you you don't need all that weight, it's just what I liked to shoot.
Whatever you like for whitetails will work just fine. They are not a very large animal. Shot placement, as with anything, is always key. They seldom get totally out of sight before giving up the ghost.
I've shot them as close as ten yards and a couple quite a bit farther than that.
Like most big game try to get a shot that's 20 yards or less and you'll be golden.
I stalked within 15 feet of the antelope in the picture. Looking him over real good I decided I could do better and let him walk. I watched him walk slowly away and he seemed to grow bigger with every step.
Finally he stopped and turned broadside and I decided I'd made a mistake in judgement. I raised the bow and put an arrow through his heart. I stepped it off later and the shot was made at 30 long paces. Go figure.
carcajou,
what broadhead did you use man? whatever it was really tore that thing up :)
160 Grizzly !! :scared:
