This is a trophy Antelope hunt. We set the minimum at 15", so of course, there will be larger Antelope taken than this.

Last year after everyone finished, I drove around the ranch with the outfitter and we saw 4, 16" bucks within 15 minutes. There were two that were a lot larger than this that did not get shot last year.

So, needless to say, if you went into this hunt with the expectation of a 15" Antelope, you will not be dissapointed.

Once again, I will be on this hunt this year. The price is $1850 + license + tax.

For this price, you will not beat the quality of these animals. The outfitter and his family are the nicest guys you could ever find as well.

Buffalobwana you have email.....cjw3

Hmm, well I just spoke to the outfitter and realized I do not have as many permits left as I thought.

Here is a run down of last years Antelope. It was a bad year with a terrible drought.
This hunt consist of a four different ranches, all bordering each other. Keeping in mind last years drought, take a look at the size of the Antelope taken.

Main camp, 13 hunters; 2 - 14"; 9 - 15" to 16"; 2 - 16" to 17"
Second camp out of 10 hunters, all 10 were 16" and better.
Third Camp. Of 11 hunters 4 were 15"-16" and 6 were over 16" with one at 17 3/4"
Fourth Camp was not hunted last year. It is in an "every-other-year area"

This winter has been one of the warmest on record in this area of New Mexico. The precipitation is good ... I expect some enormous Antelope this year on this hunt.

Okay, you have my attention. What town is the hunting area near? What are the dates for the hunt? When is the application/draw dates?

I've put in for Wyoming, but may not draw. So, I'm hoping that the draw dates are later than Wyoming's draw.

Bearhunter,

you have e-mail.
