Drew a buck antelope tag for ML and was wondering if anyone has experience in these units. This will be my last year hunting as a RES unfortunately. I will be moving to the big state of Texas. Any tips will be much appreciated. Lots of research about to happen, 11 points to get it.

There are antelope everywhere on BLM land there. Shouldn't be a problem getting one.

This area is where a blind squirrel CAN find a nut :-)

I finally dropped my 20 points up there myself this year.
Just a little upset that they cut down the units and increased the tags for the decreased area over last year. It does decrease the quality of the hunt but still not many hunters to run them around.
There are plenty of goats up there for sure and some nice ones.
Depending on what else I draw, this one might get turned in and I may look down south in the San Luis valley for less pressure.

I came across a place that I later found out was called the “fighting tree.” It was a water hole near the only tree for as far as you could see. Hanging on a fence post was a bottle that had a list of names and phone numbers shoved inside. When the first hunter got his goat, he was then supposed to call the next hunter on the list and so on. One guy who was not on the list, was camped in a gully a little over a quarter mile away waiting to slide in when the sitting hunter got his goat. You can see how a conflict could result, thus the “fighting tree”. Oh yea, there were two blinds on that water, on opposite sides. Would have been interesting if someone could have recorded the events taking place there! That couldn’t have been the only hot spot in 3,301, or could it?

Tavis- drop my dad a line or reach out to him. He has an archery tag for 3/301 and can give you some intel on your rifle tag as he will be up there hunting prior to his Moose tag here.
