Not only is an antelope hunt a fraction of what you’d pay for most other big game hunts, you’re virtually assured the opportunity of seeing lots of game. We offer great pronghorn antelope hunts, but for true trophy bucks, you need to hunt certain areas. If you’re wanting a trophy buck (who isn’t?), your best chance is in Arizona, New Mexico or Wyoming, but don’t sleep on our Colorado antelope hunts. Just be sure to contact us so we can steer you towards a good, vetted outfitter.

Pronghorn Antelope Hunts

We’ve been on these hunts ourselves and they have our stamp of approval. Outdoors International can help you stack the odds in your favor for a more successful pronghorn antelope hunt.

The antelope hunt you book needs to be in an area and/or with an outfitter that would satisfy your trophy quality expectations, while also fitting your physical condition level and your budget. That’s what our service is all about. Let us know if you’d like to schedule a pronghorn antelope hunting consultation.

Pronghorn Antelope HUNTING TIPS & INFORMATION

The pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is a species of artiodactyl mammal indigenous to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is often known colloquially in North America as the American antelope, prong buck, pronghorn antelope, prairie antelope, or simply antelope because it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to parallel evolution.

Lewis and Clark were the first to describe pronghorn antelope.

The first people to describe these amazing creatures were Spanish explorers during the 16th century. Lewis and Clark were the first to give us real insight about what pronghorns are. They discovered them between 1804-1806 at the mouth of the Niobrara River, in what is now Nebraska. Clark was the first person in the expedition to harvest a pronghorn antelope. He described them as about the height of a whitetail deer, with a shorter body and soft horns with forks ⅔ up and sharp arches. He went on to describe the gray above the eyes and black behind the ears down its neck and face. The white around its neck, sides and rump.

Lewis and Clark also stated that of all the animals they had seen, the antelope possessed the most wonderful fleetness. They described them as shy and nervous, choosing to hang out only on ridges, which allowed them a 360 degree view of any approaching predators.

The fastest animal in North America.

We now know a lot more about these amazing creatures. They are the fastest animal in North America, and the second fastest animal in the world, second only to the cheetah. But one difference between the two is, antelope can run faster and for longer periods of time. They can run 55 MPH for up to half a mile, but can maintain a speed of 35 MPH for up to four miles. That means they can be four miles away in about seven minutes if they feel threatened. Their large windpipe, heart and lungs enable them to breathe in large amounts of air while they are running. They go under fences, not over them. Their extremely large eyes give them a 320 degree field of view.

Antelope shed their horns every year!

Their horns are basically a thin, flattened piece of bone growing out of the frontal bones of their skull with a keratinous sheath that is shed and grows back every year. They are branched with a forward pointing tine, thus the name pronghorn antelope. That horn is usually 5-17 inches long. Now let’s figure out where to go to find pronghorns with the best keratinous sheaths.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
