There are a number of methods to hunt antelope and you have plenty of time to read magazie articles (there is one in this monthe A.O. mag.)and watch videos on hunting them.
Apply for the Non-trophy tag as well as the trophy tag. Going out for a couple days hunting non-trophy is a great way to rehearse for a trophy hunt down the road. A real advantage is you get to look at a fair number of trophy animals and get an idea what a good buck looks like. The first few times I hunted antelope with friends we all shot the first legal bucks we got a chance at. After awhile we learned that a better buck might be just over the hill and tagging the first buck was not the best option.
Take good care of the meat and antelope is in my view one of the best eating wild game animals.
I used to take my young kids along on non-trophy antelope hunts and it was a great time for all. They both go on antelope hunts with me now when one of us gets drawn and it is a hut I always look forward to.
