Looks like my son and I have drawn an archery antelope permit. This will be our 4th time drawing the permit. Love that hunt... loads of fun. I also drew an archery deer tag. Don't know what units yet, just that the credit card has been hit. This is the fun time... anticipation and preparing for the hunt.

Goofy... we will have to keep in touch on the loper hunt. We may be down there the same time and if so, will have to hookup for a visit. This is my 4th permit in 12 years for the same area.

Pretty awesome! I have never done a loper hunt of any kind. do you guys generally do archery with a blind by water or some other way?

Antelope hunt

i have done few antelope hunts over in wyoming and colorado when i lived there. both of those were OTC tags. i have yet to draw a tag for utah.
colorado hunt was with a Archery. and the wyoming was with rifle. fun hunts just wished i could draw here in Utah...

Just received my confirmation email. Archery Deer - Kamas, Archery Antelope - Plateau.

Kdog... I have stalked (most fun and most difficult), decoyed, and sat at water holes (most boreing but most productive)

RSB... we have been successful everytime we have put in for the Plateau area. Probably because someone in the group has always got a few points to share, and archery is so difficult to get an animal that most everyone wants to hunt them with a gun. Gun hunts are no brainers... if you can chew bubble gum, you can shoot a loper with a gun. We hunt them in Wyo with guns, and on a very bad day, we will fill our tags on the first trip, which will take all day. On a normal trip, we have our loper down, cutup and in the cooler by noon.

I too have this archery antelope tag. Never ever hunted antelope before but in scouting found them running away 2miles ahead of me. Should be a learning experience for me. Also have a spike archery tag and a dedicated deer. This will be a fun upcoming season. I'd love any advice on the lope though. I'm set on east side for elk and deer though so I will be lope hunting latter in the hunt.
