First Antelope Tag Ever! SE NM

Sit water. Agreed. If you set up a portable ground blind however, enter it slowly. Rattlesnakes love them for the shade.

Yikes! Thanks for the reminder. I might be hunting this way also. Will try to remember to check out for snakes.

Rattlesnake and desert wind/rain storms! Snapped blind poles! Splintered bow limbs!! Scorpion in bino harness!! #nmpurpletagpunched PTL

Looks Amazing!

First time putting in for NM Antelope, and I was drawn for units 21, 24 in October. Beyond excited! Although I can't find any information online for these units so, if anyone has insight into these units, it would be greatly appreciated.

I shot an antelope with my bow the first year I hunted them. Wasn’t keen to sit water so hunted spot and stalk. Took me a few days to get one, but the trick for me was using landscape features to get close. I snuck up a drain and popped over for a successful shot (which I had ranged previously). Good luck!
