Oregon antelope

[Bob33]

I'm considering applying for an Oregon antelope license in the next couple years. I don't have enough points to get a license in the top units like Hart Mountain and never will. From what I've been able to research I would have good to very good odds of drawing in the following units. If anyone has any thoughts on these I'd appreciate hearing them.

Thank you.

Saw a really nice one in 76A 2 weeks ago along with about 75 or so others.

As many times as iv’e been to the Silvies and hang out there, I don’t think I have seen an antelope

Thanks. Trying to research an out of state antelope unit is pretty interesting. There isn't nearly as much information as there is for deer and elk. One hunter will say he saw antelope every day in a unit while another hunter in the same unit would say he hunted seven days and never saw an animal.

There is a lot in that unit. Not great if you're looking for a trophy though. A BIG one there will be 14ish

I have been down there a time or two. The wife and I hunted our points out in 2012. I have a buddy who has been down a few more times, family and friends' points, we have been in the Malheur unit. Killed some good bucks and had a good time. It's not on your list but should be. As usual a unit has pockets and sometimes finding those spots is a challenge.
Do not overlook this unit. Some of the BLM around ranch boundaries is ripe with good bucks....On X is your friend.

Good advice. 

I hunted elk in the Malheur 3 years running maybe 12-14 years ago.

Saw some dandy antelope each time.   

My input is dated, but.....

You need to get off the cpr and go up the mt

I don't know how many points you have, but as a resident it you don't get lucky and draw in the 25% pool. It's at least a minium of 12 -14 years of points. You would be luckier to draw a bow tag for Malheur sooner.
