Antelope can be found throughout the district, but the majority are located in the west and central portion. Waterhole hunting may be a good option with a little scouting. Generally in October the bucks will still be running with the herds and increases the rifle hunter’s odds of locating a good herd buck. Late snows will cause the antelope to bunch up and seek the agriculture fields.

This is usually a great time to be out in the hills, warm weather, fall colors and chasing rutting antelope. This is a good time to pattern antelope as they frequent the agricultural fields. Hunting pressure is little and landowners are typically more willing to let an archer on.

Antelope rut in mid-September and the bucks are very active seeking does and running off smaller bucks. This is a great time to be archery hunting them. Decoys can be effective during this time and it is also great spot and stalk as the bucks are very distracted.

The rut will typically be over, but the bucks will still be with the herds making them easier to locate. The first of the season is a great time to spot a small herd, plan a good stalk and have fun. Rifle season for deer and elk will not start for two weeks so competition from other hunters in the area is greatly reduced. Late in the season and with some bad weather, antelope can form large herds.
