Antelope Hunts: It’s All About the Stalk!
A pronghorn antelope hunt out West is a must-do for any serious hunter.
Whether you're looking to chase a mule deer, pronghorn antelope, or elk, these hunts bring together incredible opportunities, stunning scenery, and top-tier accommodations.
These speedsters are one of North America's most unique big game species, and Wyoming's wide-open landscapes offer some of the best opportunities to pursue them. With endless prairie habitat and thriving antelope populations, a spot-and-stalk hunt with SNS Outfitter is an experience every hunter should have at least once.
The Full Experience of an Antelope Hunt
Hunting pronghorn is about more than just the harvest—it's the entire experience. Crisp fall mornings, golden sunrises, rolling sagebrush covered hills, and Wyoming's famous western skies of blue set the scene for an unforgettable hunt. But the real thrill? The spot-and-stalk pursuit!
How Spot-and-Stalk Hunting Works
A typical day in the field involves covering ground in a four-wheel-drive vehicle, with your professional hunting guide, stopping frequently to glass distant ridges and open prairie. Pronghorn are often spotted from over half a mile away, making quality optics and patience essential. Our guides are trained in the challenging task of assessing the horn mass on the hoof and will help coach you into finding a quality buck.
Once a mature buck is located, the real hunt begins. The goal is to close the distance on foot, using the natural terrain for cover. Unlike deer or elk, pronghorn antelope rely almost exclusively on their eyesight to detect danger. A well-planned stalk—staying low, moving slowly, and using hills or vegetation for concealment—allows for a close-range, ethical shot and a better chance to evaluate the buck's horn size. A perfectly executed stalk increases the odds of taking a calm, unsuspecting buck at a manageable distance. It's also where the fun & challenge really comes into play!
The Ethics of Long-Range vs. Spot-and-Stalk Hunting
Many hunting shows promote the idea that long-range shots are necessary for pronghorn hunting, but that's simply not true. With patience, good stalking skills, and effort, hunters can often get within 100 to 350 yards for a clean, ethical shot. Skipping the stalk takes away the best part of the hunt—the challenge, strategy, and excitement of getting up close to one of the West's most iconic game animals.
