On The Right 

Some hunting pictures from Matt Hoge that were taken in Antelope country. 

Upper Left - Success!

Upper Right - Cactus isn't the only thing to watch out for in Antelope country.

Bottom Left - Check water holes for fresh tracks to determine if Antelope have been frequenting the area.

Bottom Right - Typical water "tank" under a windmill.  Notice cattle can screw up your ground blind setup.  Also note if an antelope walked up to one of these tanks, the buck's vitals would be covered.  Look for water holes without steel tanks, or be prepared to setup your blind with a clear shot at an approaching antelope.
