How to hunt antelope with a bow

Archery Antelope Hunting: How to be successful

Bowhunting antelope can be a ton of fun, and we work with some great outfitters. Year after year, even our archery antelope hunting clients have near 100% opportunity rates! Bowhunting antelope is a mental game. You are typically hunting all day in triple-digit heat, so it’s important to pace yourself. If you’re just learning how to hunt antelope with a bow, there are three main ways to hunt speed goats: Hunt blinds over water; use decoys or spot-and-stalk.

Are you ready for a physically easy hunt with a great outfitter, comfortable accommodations and more antelope than you can fathom. If you’re prepared to sit in hot blinds for long days, you can strap your tag to an archery antelope. We have lots of choices to choose from in WyomingNew MexicoColorado, and even Montana, so let us know what you’re looking for.

Hunting over water holes is by far the most effective archery antelope hunting technique.

Sitting water, under the right conditions can be a very effective way to hunt antelope, and we recommend it. Especially on your first archery antelope hunting experience. When it’s dry and hot, they have to drink, so hunters that are patient, and can tough out the heat have a very good chance of getting a buck. Another great thing about hunting in a blind is it usually gives you more time for field judging.

Spot-and-stalk archery antelope hunting is difficult.

Get ready to get your butt kicked if you want to try spot-and-stalk hunting for antelope with your bow. It’s not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s hard. If the terrain isn’t right, forget it. But if you have stalkable cover, it can be a ton of fun. Take your time, and listen to your guide is our best advice.

Using decoys for archery antelope hunting is awesome…when it works.

Decoying antelope does work…but it isn’t foolproof. I like to have a decoy on hunts to use as a last resort when nothing else is working, because they are not reliable at all. That said though, when a buck comes screaming in to a decoy, it’s an incredible experience!

My hunt was absolutely top notch.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
