Archery antelope

[Timberline001]

Just found out I drew an archery antelope in the left over draw. Seasons 7 days in already so I definitely feel more pressure than normal since I usually would have been scouting my butt off for a tag like this. Headed out with the kids tomorow to try to find a watering hole that’s being used heavily and get a blind set up. If anyone has any tips and wants to PM me that would be awesome. It’s a large unit and 4 hours away so it’s a bit daunting. Super excited to kill my first archery antelope though and learn a new unit.

Thanks, I’m happy to have the tag.
Been here for four hours and haven’t yet to find a goat on public or waterholes that have sign. I have a couple more hours before I need to head home though so I’m gonna keep at it.

I’ve heard it’s a good tag and that most of the goats are on the west side of the unit. That’s all I know though.

Any luck?

I ended up finding a valley on the west side with a decent amount of goats. Sat water and never had a shooter come in while I was sitting and made a few unsuccessful stalks. It was a great hunt though, definitely a quality over quantity type unit.

Yup. I had the unlimited 44 and experienced the same results. Lots of good bucks. Did you use a decoy?
