yotebuster Report post Posted April 28, 2011 Well my lucky streak continues! I called to see if I drew any leftover antelope tags (put the two hopi hunts for first and second choice) and I drew a Camp Navajo archery antelope tag! Anyhow, I looked up the stats and it appears that they've only killed two out of there in the past 7 years or so, with most years people not even hunting. I was in there last year in October trying to get my friend a cow during the muzzleloader hunt and didn't see much for good antelope country. I do understand that they're in the ponderosas in that country though. Anybody tried this hunt or seen any while in there elk hunting? It looks like you can only scout 2 weeks prior, that's gonna make it tough, and you can't leave blinds out over night either. This could be tricky! Any advise is welcome as I know there's only a small number of people out there who've hunted the depot, let alone for antelope! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anthonyrmatthews Report post Posted April 28, 2011 I'm not sure what you're saying here? I thought that the info I shared was good info. First off, I'm not even sure if he can get into the limited area. Second, there is a relatively small area in the limited area that is antelope country. I figured if he wanted more info, then he would PM me. We are all on the same team here no need to be like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey I appreciate the info from all of ya! I didn't hunt the limited area with my buddy since he had a muzzy tag last fall. I think I will be able to hunt it if I get all the paperwork filled out and have my commander sign off. Not sure on the protocol on that since I've never had an archery tag in there. Do they allow trail cams in there? I doubt that they do, looks like it's gonna be a kinda non traditional antelope hunt for sure. Thanks again for the info!

elkaholic Report post Posted April 28, 2011 my bad- i didnt know he was NG- then my comment wasnt appropriate. - last yr -- INSIDE-- it was said to have several large groups of antelope - i was thinking/ referring to outside the fence. yes- you should have no problem finding them inside!hunting them can be a challenge no matter where you are! they visit the outside rarely but I have seen them in different locations outside! yes if you do have access to the limited area - and spend the time scouting - you should and could score on a nice buck! anthony--no disrespect to your comment- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkaholic Report post Posted April 29, 2011 chatted with Yote last night- inside limited area has a whole set of different rules - no scouting- no helpers- etc. i can guarantee you will see antelope - they should be accustomed to vechiles driving around and stopping - thats the big plus!
