Hey Doug, How high was your stand? I have often considered this technique for Pronghorn.

Doug,
 can you sit in that stand open right along a watering hole and have game come in close for a shot without freaking out? That is just amazing to me!! Totally different creatures I guess.

Nice work!  I think speed goat will be my first western animal (someday...hopefully)!

Thanks a bunch guys, appreciate it.

A few asked about my stand set up. While I'd much rather spot and stalk when I'm hunting bucks I've been doing this for a few years on water holes. Usually only use two sections of a ladder stand putting your feet maybe 8' high at the most. I occasionally get busted if a deer wanders by but never have by an antelope. Up here at least they just never look up.

Here is the set up I used last year to fill my doe tag and thus lead to putting together the tripods this year. Believe me it took some getting used to sitting out in the middle of nothing like that but it worked like a charm. Had numerous deer and one 6pt bull walk by this one. Guess they just thought I was a big ol ugly eagle sitting up there. That is ladder stand rigged onto a 2x4 tripod.
