    Default Any tips for bowhunting pronghorn?

    So I've bowhunting pronghorn the past 3 weekends with no luck. I have found plenty of pronghorn in nice herds but once you start stalking them damn if they don't decide to get up and move to clearer areas that i have nothing to hide behind. closest i've got so far was 100 yards. I was thinking about doing a blind and a decoy but there is so many water holes where i've been hunting you got alot of area to cover. So any of you guys got any tips for a new guy to pronghorn hunting? Thanks.

    I didn't even think you could stalk a pronghorn? I thought they have some of the better eyes of the animal world so stalking is futile.

    If it were me I would post up by a water hole and maybe use a decoy. Then again I've never hunted pronghorn.

    My buddy hunts them every year; his trick is to find out where they bed-down the night before, then return really early and sneak in way before sunrise & wait for them to move-out.

    That can work as well. We did that on the last day of the hunt. We were out of camp by 5:00am and only had to walk about 500 yards. Those little buggers were up long before us that morning and their alarm systems rang out through the herd.

    You must hunt WATER. Setup a blind weeks before on a water hole, river bank, or "Windmill" - cattle water tank.

    Let them come to you. Best and only option, stalking is not very productive.

    Hunt single bucks, ya need a decoy 1 pair of eyes is alot easier than 20.
    Water may or may not even be a factor.

    Give up the bow and use a rifle. Just kidding, good luck!

    Yeah decoy's and a blind seem to be the way to go, but just don't know if setting up a blind this late in the season will work.
