My first antelope hunt was last year, and we spent the whole time hunting one plot of land that was about 3000 acres of public, just off the hwy in WY. It bordered up against multiple ranches, which is a super important aspect I would consider looking for as you scope out spots. We had groups of antelope moving from ranch to ranch to graze through this plot of public all week. One thing I was surprised by is how great their eye sight is. We had groups spotting our movement from 1000 yards away. It's super important to work the topography as you stalk, otherwise they will bust the moment you get within 600 yards. We were a group of 4 and all tagged out over the course of 5 days via a combination of glassing, spot and stalk, and just getting lucky with being in the right place at the right time. My buddy glassed up my buck from 1200 yards away, and we were able to stalk in to 100 yds using hills and drainages. When I popped up over the last hill at 100, his does spotted my movement, he keyed in on their behavior, stood up, and I got a standing shot off at 100 right as he was about to bound away. I caught him low in the front shoulder, and he bound about another 75-100 yards. Fortunately he stopped, and I put him down with the second shot on the spot. Our hunt was October rifle and it was still 80 degrees each day. Gear wise I would prioritize clothing that can handle big temperature swings to keep you comfortable and in the hunt the whole time. He had 40 degree mornings with 80 degree afternoons.
