Hunting strategy:
Cruise the back roads and “rancher trails” with the intent of glassing up a good book from long range. You should expect to see lots of animals as you search for the biggest Buck available. Once you locate him, try to stalk within good comfortable shooting distance and get’r done..
Success rate:
This guy’s been at it for a while, has a good area, and a solid game plan. On an average year, almost everyone will kill a nice Antelope. The area has a good population of 13” – 14” bucks that will score high enough to make the book, and you have an excellent chance to tag one. There’s a lot of what we describe as “Nice” Bucks, with a modest sprinkling of great bucks. A good shooter will run 13” - 14” with good mass, and make a beautiful mount.
