Dakota Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Anyone got plans to pursue antelope this year? I've got a South Dakota any antelope archery tag. Normally I'd probably range further out across the state, but I think Covid-19 is forcing me to take smaller day trips to closer less antelope filled territory this year.

wtnhunt Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Good luck Dakota. Some day I would like to get back out west and go after mule deer and antelope, but that will be a ways out. Stay safe and healthy buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 They're certainly a fun hunt! There aren't too many on the eastern side of the Missouri River, but their population is increasing in size and territory, and there's close to eight eligible eastern counties in the rifle and archery seasons these days. There's a good chunk of public land up and down the river, but wouldn't surprise me if most are more easily hunted in the private agriculture fields (wheat, alfalfa, etc.). Got a tip on a vast ranch covering nearly half of one of those counties, so I'm praying I'll be able to get access. People are more willing to let you hunt their antelope than deer, pheasants and waterfowl out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Wyoming has more antelope than people. They still offer up to 5 tags per person, with excellent results. Lots of open land hunting, lots of ranchers will let you hunt (ususally $$ involved) and camp anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Montana has an early archery season that opens August 15th and I'm thinking about heading over to the east side of the divide to give it a go. It would allow for almost three weeks of hunting before archery elk opens up. I just have to decide in time to apply for a tag. The one real negative is the mid August heat, although this particular hunt (900 archery) is open until Nov. 14th and could offer a chance for a cooler weather excursion. Application deadline is June 1st so there is time to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
