advance thru draws.

use a decoy.
sit at a water hole.

Have patience and good luck, never have tried it myself but it looks very difficult. Aren't there any water holes you can sit on?

Elkmaster sounds like a pronghorn master. He has good advice. I have killed 2 bucks (100%) useing these methods of stalking.

I hunt antelope with a bow every year and stalking them is not nearly as difficult as you would think. A few things that work for me are: 1) wait until a buck is in a stalkable location, preferrably bedded 2)stay low and use you binos to look for horn tips and ears as you advance 3)any little rise or depression in topography (even a few inches) can provide cover 4)get leather gloves and belly crawl. Finally, I do what can be described as "leapfrogging". Cover as much ground as possible when given a chance then hunker down and wait until you can again move in closer. You might only have a couple of seconds to make a move. But don't force the issue and be patient. I will often spend hours laying in one spot waiting until I can make my next move. Good luck.
