Applying for tags

Many western states use a draw system with preference or bonus points. Apply early, since deadlines often fall in spring.

Archery and rifle

Archery seasons often open in the heat of late summer, when antelope visit water. Rifle seasons follow in the fall.

Private land

Much good antelope country is private. Some states offer access programs on private land.

Dates, tags and rules change every year. Always check the current regulations.
