I saw a video on youtube where the shooter and the guide walked along with horses, and got right up to within bow range of a buck antelope and killed it at 40 yds. The guy said he does it every year. Jeremiah Johnson did that to a bull elk too!!
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

My sons and I used this homemade cardboard decoy to close well over a 1/2 mile on the buck I shot this year. I held it out in front of us, and we walked right at the buck... he watched us the whole time and never took a step. Some cows came down off the hill and made him nervous, so I shot him at 400 yards... but I bet we could have gotten a lot closer without spooking him. ![[Linked Image]](http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r325/dogdownproductions/F44A1FC8-CD50-47D4-A673-9C31F5EB6C7C_zpsqkdpgfsi.jpg) I've long thought that's work slick. That said, where I've hunted pronghorn most there is NO WAY I'd use anything that resembles a pronghorn there during rifle season. Good way to get on the nightly news... Assuming we draw, I'm taking my 12yo to WY this fall for pronghorn and am strongly considering a moo cow decoy. I think he'll find it quite funny.

Make it 3D and stuff the innards with Walmart sacks to stop the arrows!

Hit and miss with me. They will come in if they are crazy in the rut. If not they are as likely to run the other direction when you stand the decoy up. Most consistent method for taking antelope is still sitting in a blind on a waterhole. Boring, but effective.
