You are going to have to make that determination. This is a constant battle. Pronghorn well taken care of is great though.

I think the deer is more often the best, but like Randy said if you take care of it and quick an antelope is hard to beat. Every Holiday my family has me fix an antelope loin, so that should tell ya something. I do feel that the antelope does are always the best and will beat an old buck every time. I have always had a doe tag for meat except for this year and I might get one when I stop and get my conservation stamp and archery permit.

Nice pics    

What is the usual way to hunt pronghorn?

Is it in a blind near a waterhole?

What is the average shooting distances?

I can't speak for all areas but I've taken antelope here every year for 15 years and they all have been very good,at least as good as whitetail.These antelope spend all Summer,living in alfalfa fields and there is hardly any sage around.That may make a difference.In recent years,I have been hunting a sanfoin field and they like it even more than alfalfa.I'm told it has a higher sugar content.

I do jerk the hides off right away and get them right to the processer.

Pronghorn!Ask Tracy and Ben   . Everyone I've had is excellent.I too think it is what they eat. All that I've had eat mostly grasses, not as much sage. But deer isn't too bad either. It's all in how it is taken care of, as said above.
My hunts are spot and stalk Margly, but the terrain I hunt them in it's a lot more doable. My two shot were 7 yards and 20 yards.

Here is one my huntin Buddy Jerry Bowen took with an osage takedown I made for him a few years ago and a few that I have taken over the years

Steadman, I would love to be in an area that would allow stalks. I have the best spot in the world to hunt for antelope but there is no stalking. I like your pictures of them in the timber.

I enjoy deer and antelope equally in the steak department.  I take all my antelope "burger" meat and make it into breakfast sausage.  We LOVE the breakfast sausage.  So much so that if anyone is going and wants to take an extra doe, I'll pay for the processing and split it with you just to get some more here in the house.  When I told my daughter we just ate the last antelope bisquit and gravy breakfast, I thought she was going to cry...she says, "But Daddy, I can't LIVE without antelope sausage"!

Mike,

That is about the most impressive group of Antelope mounts I've ever seen.  To think that you did it with Traditional equipment, well that just takes the cake.

If you ever need a hunting partner from AR, please look me up buddy!

If we are talking mulie meat then antelope BY FAR. As far as our corn fed midwest whitetails, it would be close...

Great speed goats guys. Mike, I need a guide. Are you for hire?  

[knobby]

Antelope hunting is just a great time. Every time I travel across the plains I ask myself why I don't hunt them anymore. What a gorgeous animal.  So many animals-so little vacation!
   Mike, that's an impressive group of bucks on the wall.
   Steadman, who put the trees in your antelope pictures? What a scenic hunt that must be.

[Jason Hansen]

Awesome pictures guys...keep em' coming!    

[steadman]

It's a pretty cool location to hunt goats. Mike we should hook uo, mabey get ol Tracy to come out too. I would love to get a self bow one day, I will have to contact you.
 

Here is a link to the hunt last year.

Sounds like a real challenge!
I tried some stalking (not hunting) at some pronghorns several times out on the prairie in South Dakota a couple of years
ago, but they where some tough critters to sneak in on

I leave again for SD next month.. Fun and more fun. I am doing both waterhole and some spot n stalk..

 

[Bryan Burkhardt]

Yancey - Are you doing this to torture me?  You know that the antelope is my nemesis!  I'm hoping the 5th time will be a charm...heading out to Colorado on August 14th.  

Keep the pics coming guys and send me some of that speed goat mojo.

[Peckerwood]

I only hunted Antelope once but have been dreaming of going back. I love the meat.
