Are Antelope considered other big game?
« on: October 08, 2009, 06:10:36 PM »
Here are a couple photos that were taken a couple weeks before the big Washington Moose hunt.  You know just a little r and r before the real hunting started.  Seriously, hunting antelope with a bow is as much fun as a a guy can have!! Check out the posting in youtube under montana archery antelope (landwehr outfitters).  These are the guys to hunt with if you want some fast paced decoy action!

Nice looking speed goats. Were they taken out of a blind over water or with a decoy.
I hope when I die my wife doesn't sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them.

Good job. I have always want to try antelope hunting. I had some antelope summer sausage once and it was real good.

We are not patient enough to sit on water holes.  One goat was decoyed to 25 yards, the second was a spot and stalk and it was actually closer to 20 yards.  I am telling you, hunting antelope with a bow is awesome!  They are out all day long; you just have to get the right opportunity.  For every 10 sneaks that blow up, one works.  The nice thing about goats is you get lots of opportuinity to play!

Ya, that's awesome. We archery elk hunt the Missouri breaks in Montana and the antelope are usually in full rut. Alot of the local kids are out hunting them and they tell us how much fun it is. They always have a ton of action and seem to get a few. Will defiantly do it someday.

You ever look at elk hunting fort peck?  We spent a day there this last season after we filled our antelope tags.  That looks like a lot of fun!

It must be the picture, both antelope are pope and young goats, the bottom one scores about an inch better than the top one.
