Here’s how to get ready:


Archery Antelope Hunts

Archery antelope season kicks things off from reliable ground blind locations. That means accuracy is everything. The key to success? Pre-season practice.

  • Dial in your bow and commit to shooting every day.
  • Focus on consistency, particularly from sitting positions, just like in a blind.
  • When that antelope buck gives you a clean broadside shot, you’ll be ready.

Archery Deer & Elk Hunts

Mule deer hunts may involve a mix of spot-and-stalk and blind hunting, while elk archery hunts often include both calling and stalking strategies. No matter what, your shooting needs to be rock-solid.

  • Keep practicing throughout the off-season, especially for quick shots under pressure.
  • Talk to the Table Mountain team about recommended camouflage for stalking success.
  • Get in shape, closing the distance on an elk or deer isn’t easy, and being able to get moving quickly will pay off in the field.

Bonus tip: If you’re thinking about new boots, buy them now. This gives you time to break them in and identify any issues well before your hunt.

Rifle Hunts

Rifle season offers outstanding shot opportunities, and then you get to make that shot count. Arrive with a sighted-in rifle and the confidence that comes from months of preparation.

  • Don’t stop at the bench rest. Practice prone, kneeling, off shooting sticks, and more.
  • Spend time at the range regularly throughout the spring and summer.
  • Know your gear, if you’re using bipods or sticks, integrate them into your training so you can use them efficiently in the field.
