I applied for an antelope tag for next fall. I hope I get one. If I do, it will be the first time I've ever hunted for pronghorn.
While I have been exploring this the wilderness around here I have run across them several times. They seem to be curious creatures. I'll be driving around the desert and spot a herd a few hundred yards away. They all seem to just stand around and stare at me.
I would like any feedback from anyone who has ever hunted these animals. If you have any tricks that may increase my odds I would also appreciate that. From what I understand the cartridge used doesn't need the word magnum in the name. I have a rifle in .280 Remington, I assume that would work.
So, pronghorn hunters, what do I need to know about these creatures?
