I spent three days daylight to dark in a blind to tag my first antelope buck with a bow.  Rock Springs, WY.  Great hunt but I was in my underwear most of the day as it was nearly 100 degrees in that blind - all &*$% day!  I put clothes back on for photos  :chuckle:

I found a photo of this antelope...1994.  Clunky but effective homemade plywood blind, Double Bull was just getting started back then  :bash:  I needed to lash the thing down in the gusty Wyoming winds.

while I'm digging into the old photos, here's a decent buck that was coming in but got skittish before I could make it count.

still undecided for sure
I am definitely  not knocking blind hunting. It is effective and does obviously get results. Good luck on your hunt. I think you will enjoy it either way. Make sure to have a cooler with ice and get that thing skinned and on some ice as soon as you can. I really liked eating antelope and thought they were really neat to hunt. There's nothing like watching a line of them centipede up and over a hill at high speed.

Nice critters bow4elk.

Didn't mean to threadjack here.  I never had that buck measured because he was probably right around the minimum.
