Antelope OTC gun hunt

[Johnksully]

Is there anywhere that has antelope otc gun tags anymore? Trying to get some kids out west on a easier hunt. Thanks!

Not anymore, people kept asking stupid questions like this on the internet. Now they're all 5 points.

I have a really hard time faulting someone for making a post like this asking if there is such a thing. Even if you wanted to fault someone, I’d sooner think it’d be on behalf of the person(s) who answered it. They’re the dummies if there are any in this situation.

I was under the impression that the purpose of this forum, and most any other one, is to share information. I certainly don’t think it hurts anything for a fella to ask a vague, generic question like this one. A person with information can simply PM him.

To the OP, I don’t think there’s a lot of true “OTC” hunting opportunities for antelope, but you could check for leftover licenses in states that sell them that way. Tread carefully though, there’s often a reason they’re leftovers.

The smart ass, self entitled BS gets old quick. As if being a dick is somehow saving your spot or increasing your odds of a tag...but so goes the internet.
Obviously anyone with specific info and a brain willing to help will PM the asking party...or just say nothing.
I'll echo what 7remMag said... if there are left over or zero point tags there is a reason, very typically access. There are often plenty of antelope to be found in those places, your just gonna be stuck paying an outfitter/guide for access to private land.
Taking kids on a cheap easy western hunt without a few years points or paying a premium is looking to be pretty much a thing of the past.


Start applying and accruing points or hope you get lucky in a random draw.

Its rough out there going diy with no points anymore.

Some New Mexico outfitters offer guaranteed landowner tags, but they're not cheap. I don't know of any other options.

And for the antelope future we all better hope those are done away with as they have been for the last 3 years.

I did a guided antelope hunt several years ago in NM. It wasn’t cheap and the guide just dropped me off at the blind and picked me up at the end of the day.

Not much left for OTC but pm sent with an idea, Pathfinder doesn't need to know it, lol.

Thanks guys. I've never hunted antelope but have done plenty of other hunting out west. Thought it was a little easier to get an antelope tag. Guess we'll play the point game...
