Colorado Antelope

[hawkbill]

Well guys I have been thinking about and reading everything that has been published on Antelope in Colorado. There has been some nice bucks killed out on the Eastern Plains and of coarse a handful of other units. I am seriously thinking about drawing the 201 Muzzleloader hunt only 5 tags plus the Bulls should be screaming and I could hopefully do a little fishing down on the Green River. Several hunters have mentioned that it’s a fun hunt not , many people around. If anyone has any input I would like to hear it. Thank You

I’ve been in that there stretch of Colorado and would say if you’ve got the points to draw that tag I think you’d have a great time.

 

[tailchasers]

Bring plenty of supplies and have a great time!

Colo antelope numbers are down considerably from 15+ years ago to today. Tag quotas have been cut and have remained low. There are very few b&c bucks that come from Colo and even fewer the past 15 years. I’ve been sitting on a pile of pts for years and don’t get excited about Colo antelope.

As mentioned you’ll have a great time but your work is cut out for you if score is important

 

[hawkbill]

Well I’m sitting on a pile of points and I am excited, I like the idea of only 5 tags.

 

[jims]

Should be fun! Go for it!

 

[LIK2HNT]

May I ask how many points you have?
I am sitting on 22 and been waiting for a few good years. Feeling like things are not going to get better and might as well hunt in the next few years.

I had the 201 muzzy antelope tag last year and had a blast. We looked over a ton of antelope but never saw anything huge. For me it was never about the score or inches but spending some time with the kids in some spectacular country. I would use my points again in a hurry if I had the chance.

You don’t think yours is a great goat? I’d be real happy with that one in Colorado.

There’s nothing wrong with that antelope, he’s a dandy in my book. Congratulations.

Sirzonkalot that is exactly the type of Antelope I am looking for. Beautiful Buck, we all know the quality has gone down but I am going to have a great time, camp, fish, bugle up a Bull or two and if all the stars align kill a great Antelope Buck. You asked how many points I have, well 28 same as Elk. I know a lot of guys will say I would never wait that long, I have been dam busy hunting everywhere else, taking kids and wife hunting. I’m glad I have this chance for a quality hunt. I burned 25 points for Mule Deer last year,hunted the Gunnison Basin and did not kill a buck but man did I see a lot of Deer. Colorado is truly a beautiful state and I feel blessed To hunt it again

[elknr]

That is a great goat ! Congrats!

 

[COHunter]

Still trying to figure out where to burn my 24 points. But it will be OTC archery this fall

 

[Archbull]

I had that tag three years ago. Had a great time! Saw one other hunter and lots of antelope. Go for it! It took 17 points as a resident then.

I hated that beer and don’t want anyone to know I drank it

 

[hawkbill]

thats a great goat, what’s the deal with covering your face

 

[JC84]

Ok gents skin your lizards

 

[JC84]

On the fishing forums you get grilled for blacking out background now on hunting forums you get grilled for covering face hahaha
No unit in Colorado is worth 20 yrs of antelope points

I hated that beer and don’t want anyone to know I drank it

 

[hawkbill]

I laugh when guys say no unit is worth that many points and I’ll be hunting through my 60s burning up those points that I have been banking and I’m hunting every year.

 

[MountainSqwabler]

He didn't want yall poaching his spot. didn't you guys know blacking your face out lowers the chances of someone finding your spot by 69%?

 

[JC84]

Elk deer sure in Colorado
Antelope maybe I’m missing something
A 12”-13”goat with a bow on a otc tag is just as good if not better than the one I got
