Bring as much patience as possible. Lots of guys are out there to ruin your day, expect it and try to enjoy it. Rules are broken in every possible way for antelope season by what seems to be the majority.
My recomendations;
- go early
- plan to stay for a while. the first day or two will be busy with people, then the hunting gets fun and you can spend time doing what you want. Although the antelope get real educated, real quick.
- learn to range and shoot as far as you can comfortably. Or learn to crawl.
- careful for snakes and cactus. Snakes are usually denned up but can be out on a nice day.
- try to learn what a nice antelope looks like, but who cares. Pick one you like and take it.
- antelope move fast and often, especially in rifle season. Sometimes sitting still and picking the right travel path is the most successful option. if you try to chase them, they normally circle back anyways.
