Following Blood Trails in Archery Season
Many of the Table Mountain archery antelope and mule deer hunts are based from strategic blind locations. The opportunity to sit tight while trophy bucks come within range is ideal for archery hunters. After taking the shot, following blood trails to recover the animal is an important skill and is not easily done in the western terrain.
Things to Consider on a Wyoming Archery Antelope Hunt
Each year, our hunting season begins in August with the Wyoming Archery Antelope hunts! Hunting antelope during archery season is an absolute thrill. Before jumping in the blind, it’s important to make sure your bow is tuned. You should be shooting consistent, tight groupings out to 40 yards at a minimum.
