HNTNGUY Report post Posted March 2, 2018 Congrats Matt! Get a decoy! I have the ultimate predator decoy that attaches to my bow and they are awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idgaf Report post Posted March 2, 2018 Congrats Matt! Get a decoy! I have the ultimate predator decoy that attaches to my bow and they are awesome! IMO stay AWAY from decoys, wearing white, or any other trick/gimmick that comes up and just hunt. from my experience the majority of time they just run the other way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Draw Report post Posted March 3, 2018 Congrats! Looks like I drew an archery antelope tag, too. I drew one about 10 years ago and threw the kitchen sink at 'em. Antelope decoys, cow decoys, ambush spots on the way to water, sitting water, good old fashioned spot/stalk/crawl...you name it, I tried it. Everything except the cow decoy got me within a 100 yards. Those antelope may still be running today! You are going to have a blast. The best part about archery antelope hunting here is that you can and will have chances all day. Enjoy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOTAGS Report post Posted March 4, 2018 I saw a guy up in 19A wearing one of those suits, with the big foam head/hat and shirt... from a distance it looked like the fattest, and shortest legged antelope I had ever seen, and I busted up watching him. Let me know when you go so I can go be entertained again! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHALE Report post Posted March 5, 2018 So you drew back to back tags? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chewy15 Report post Posted March 5, 2018 Thanks everyone for the replys, I am excited to try it all. Whale shhh dont say that to load thats a good way to get me black bald by lots of people. In fairness though I did put in for one of the easier tags to draw this go around for goat. I also have 7 years of putting in for elk with no luck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elkaddict Report post Posted March 5, 2018 Hunted with a guy that had the antelope suit a few years ago. Saw small bucks that wouldn’t leave him alone! Haven’t been able to convince my friends that have had the tag to get one, but I’m a believer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We spooked a herd towards the road, then the costume party began. First came the decoy guy, then the guy in a painters suit, and finished with the guy with the hat. The antelope look at them like them like they were stupid and went the opposite way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOHNTR Report post Posted March 7, 2018 I drew a NR archery tag as well.......in the unit I'm retiring to this year (3BS). No decoy/costumes for me........but I'll definitely have some fun chasing them anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azbugler Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Ive got an archery tag too! Cant wait! After my last hunt, my biggest regret was not just camping on water. It was very dry that year. Its so hard to sit there and watch the goat at a distance though. Stalkingnos fun and frustrating in most cases. Decoys can work under the right circumstances.
