Antelope are probably the most underrated big game animal in North America. Many of our hunters’ book return trips after discovering just how fun and challenging these pronghorn Antelope are. Not only are they among the fastest animals on the planet they also have incredible vision. This combination makes spot and stalk hunting Antelope in the open range a real challenge. Contrary to popular belief Antelope meat provides excellent table fare and they also make handsome trophies.
Our Antelope hunts are (3) day hunts additional days are added depending on group size. Either sex licenses as well as doe/fawn licenses are issued on a draw basis.

Archery Antelope hunting is one of the best experiences we offer at Walker Outfitting. We use ground blinds in and around agricultural pivots and along game trails and water sources, accompanied with full size decoys to bring bucks into close bow range. This combination can be deadly during the Antelope rut which starts around mid-September and continues into October.
Once the rifle season opens in October the property receives an infusion of Antelope from surrounding areas due to pressure. This is one of the reasons why we continue to archery hunt after the rifle season has opened. You will notice some of our archery hunters are wearing a blaze orange vest in the archery Antelope gallery.
Rifle antelope hunts begin after the first full week in October and continue for a month, this varies slightly depending on the calendar. Antelope bucks start dropping their horn sheaths in November so the end of the rifle season can be a somewhat risky proposition. Although rifle tags are more difficult to draw than archery only 900-series Antelope tags they are well worth the wait. Antelope numbers are very strong in Dillon and give hunters the opportunity to look over numerous 12” – 14” bucks; we strive to find something bigger for the fortunate rifle tag holder to take home.
