The open plains of eastern Colorado provide great habitat for large numbers of antelope. With an abundance of food sources, bedding areas and cover, along with limited public pressure, pronghorn numbers and size are very good. Agriculture field provide protein rich food year-round which helps produce good species abundance. Look for pronghorn to feed in agriculture fields and utilize small drainages or creek bottoms for travel and bedding, especially as pressure increases during hunting seasons. This area is great for mid-trophy size bucks and doe hunts.
After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties - and continue to put conservation at the forefront - we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.

Given hunting tracks are separated into five distinct areas, you will experience lots of travel time to identify animals and then stalk. Nature of the property make it difficult to hunt if you must stay on the roads. Lots of harvesting /farming activities on some tracks. Morning hunts 100% successful, midday we had minimal activity, and late afternoon good activity but not like morning activity. Hunting party harvested both buck and doe within minutes after sunrise.
The pronghorn, while I was hunting, liked the section of land closer to Vona/I 70. A nice buck with a group of does. The seemed to pattern on that piece of land. If not there one day, they will be there the next day. Once got within 300 yds, another time 267 yds but with a muzzleloader needed to be closer. It was 80F one day so tough hunting. On a nice cloudy, drizzly day. I showed up and a group, with a nice buck, was 160 yds away, BUT! I just arrived and was only 33FT from the centerline of the road, so illegal and not safe to be that close to the road to shoot. I got the group within 200 yds using a white flag n decoy but that was it. I did encounter two other smaller solo bucks but could not close the distance. The other parcels of land when I scouted around, did not see any Pronghorn at that time, but they do travel around! Fair amount of action for 2 days, the 3rd day I had to cut the trip short. There is a nice water pond down by the windmill to go sit by.
