One thing about buck antelope - they can be curious and sometimes dangerous. Some years back we had a big buck make a fuss about 50 yards away, stomping and snorting. Apparently we were infringing on his space. Last year I had a buck charge me from about 50 yards away. I was so focused on a doe (in a different direction), he nearly got me. I hear Daughter #1 calling my name, which irritated me and I ignored it. She was in the truck a few feet behind me and finally honked the horn. When I looked back over my left shoulder the buck was about a truck length away, head down with the nose almost touching the ground and headed straight for me full speed. As I spun around it took a sharp right and went on the other side of the truck. Had Daughter not honked things would have gotten real interesting.
Good luck on your hunt.
Oh for [bleep]'s sake.
Jeff, whatever you do, don't listen to this idiot. The "danger" from an antelope is right there with the danger of getting your wiener stuck in a ceiling fan.
Only in Coyote Hunters world are antelope considered dangerous game.
My guess would be he looks goofy and they just want to see him up close.
Mountain goats are not normally considered 'dangerous' either. Yet the National Park Service is considering relocating or killing about 625 goats in Olympic National Park because they are becoming 'aggressive'. In 2010 one of the mountain goats "gored and killed a 63-year-old man, then stood over his body and stared other hikers down, according to a witness."
