Any tips for bowhunting pronghorn?

Blinds by water work good but they work better if put up a couple weeks early. Decoys can work. They are very curious animals. I have heard of guys useing card board cut outs with a little white/black paint? The satelite does usually see you before you see them. The last one i got was in WY and required a very long low crawl to top a hill before getting a shot. Best bet is to ambush at water or where they cross fences in my opinion.

I was successful my first year archery hunting antelope. I set my blind up a couple weeks early over a good water hole. The horses ate the blind because it was the only green thing. I did very well at the spot and stalk. If you are trying to go 400 yards on your belly, take water. It took around 4 hours to make 400 yards, just to have the buck spot me at 30 yards. If cows see you wearing green camo, they will try and come eat you because you are the only green thing out there.
Last day of season, I am driving to the back of the ranch and drive up on a buck. He isn't big, but it is the last day. I stop the truck, get out, climb into the bed of the truck, get m bow out of the case, climb out of the truck, walk around and shoot the buck at 24 yards.
I sure wish I would have done that the first day...

decoy,blind,watering hole. You will need to be able to shoot. My neighbor just killed one at 96 yards.

Damn 96 yards with a bow? I'm pretty confident up to 60 yards but after that the wind can take to much of a toll on your arrow and I would really hate to make a bad shot on an animal.

I believe they are shooting overdraws and light arrows, sights and all. I've heard from a friend who does guide hunts on private property, this is how they are doing it.

That's a pretty far shot. Seems like too long of flight time. Interesting though
