Most Common Question People Have:

Where are all the antelope?

 

Answer:

In the last 5 years we have had severe drought in the area and this has caused our antelope numbers to drop but I assure you there are still some harvestable bucks out there, you just need to get out there and hunt.  2012 is looking better with some fawns on the ground but we still need rain.
