Much will depend on the unit that you draw.. Most near here open in Sept. and go til Oct... Some open in Oct. When you have a unit picked out it would be easier to help you.. I would still put the .30-30 in the camper if you have room.. There are usually jacks and coyotes to hunt..
If you have doe permits, it would maybe be possible to shoot a doe with the .30.. I often hunt them with a gun like that or a pistol.. But one thing you have to keep in mind.. The areas I hunt have ranch traffic year around, and they are used to seeing vehicles.. Some units see far less traffic and the antelope are much warier..
