Day 2 mid day update:
The rain moved in last night around 11pm and persisted throughout the night. This morning I woke up around 5:30 to the sound of hail bouncing of my truck. I had a headache so I drank some water and went back to sleep. When I woke again it was already 6:30. I did the...
Best of luck! There is real dense fog this morning, can't see more than 100 yards if that. There is too much moisture in the air for my range finder to work. Not sure I am going to take my muzzleloader out in these conditions
Day 1 Recap:
We will chalk day one up as a scouting day as that is what most of the day ended up being.
To pick up from where the morning update left off. After scouting the better part of the morning and having put eyes on at least 50 Pronghorn Antelope I decide my best setup was on the...
Mid morning update:
I beat the sun up this morning after getting a decent night's sleep. I headed out about 30 minutes before sunrise and wouldn't you know it not a half mile from camp I saw my first antelope. It was a lone doe but she must have been pursued during the archery hunt as she was...
Traveling to hunting unit continued....
From the previous incident another two hours has pasted and a lot of miles have been covered. By this time I am somewhere in eastern Colorado, far from the mountains or any vegetation taller than maybe 18 inches. The sun has already set and their is only...
For this year's hunt I am hunting Colorado's eastern plains. To get to get to my license unit is about a 5 hour drive for me. Nothing crazy compared to the trecks that a lot of you put in for your hunts, but still a bit of an adventure for me. With all that being said today's drive has to have...
Good evening Hunt Talkers!
This is my attempt at a semi live hunt thread. This year I was lucky to draw my Colorado Muzzleloader Pronghorn hunt, season starts tomorrow September 21st! This will only be my second time ever hunting Pronghorn, last year being the first. I am hoping to take what I...
I imagine we will start to see quite a few changes, not sure in what direction though. The past 5-10 years has steadily seen minor changes to include the secondary draw, certain units going from OTC to draw and the merger of Colorado State Parks and Colorado Division of wildlife into one entity...
I'm a few years out on any of my kids being old enough to hunt big game yet, but I think the secondary draw is a great opportunity for them to get some a quality tags they would otherwise have to wait years for.
This will only be my second year hunting antelope and there is most definitely a learning curve to it. I don't really have any advice as mentioned above, I'm new to it as well.
Good luck!
Last year was my first Antelope hunt and I am luck enough to have a tag again this year. Antelope are very curious creatures I'd you take your time and don't push them. I had a buck walk on over 700 yards just to come see what I was. He got within 110 yards, I was muzzleloader hunting, I took a...
Welcome! Hunting in the US is regulated at the state level and there is quite a range of regulations, applications, hunting opportunities and things to consider when choosing the right hunt(s) for your style.
