I've never seen a walk in area that didn't have county road access.  Don't be afraid of hunting BLM lands though.  Being willing to walk won't do you much good when antelope hunting.  I don't mean to be flippant, but if you're doing a lot of walking instead of stalking you're doing something wrong.  Let the truck do the walking, then park and do some stalking.  Just make sure the land you're on is publicly huntable.

The poor access is probably in reference to the amount of public versus private just like the Wyoming website shows. You will be able to get into the walk in areas easily. There may only be one access point though and you will have to walk and sometimes a long ways from there. Hunter management areas are also an option in some units and you can drive on them if you have the permission slip. I have used these extensively. Plenty of info on the website about those also.

The only problem I have found with public land units as they are usually quite hard to draw unless it has a second season that most people don't want to wait for.

Like was said just glass and spot them from a distance and then plan your stalk. If your not worried about a big trophy and plan a few days you should have no problem filling your tags.

If just looking for a decent buck we have rarely hunted more than one or two days for the three of us. Last year we killed 18 antelope in four days of hunting. Remember the doe tags are cheap and you can have up to 4 of them if 2 are purchased as leftovers. 2 buck tags allowed if 1 is a leftover.

Good luck and get after them, you won't be dissappointed.

According to Easrtmans I hunt in a green chip area, but I would say in my unit I would consider it a blue chip.....I have seen pleant of monster bucks and the sheer number of antelope is great, and the land we hunt land is all BLM, we have some national forest land but it is quite a ways away.

If your not looking for a trophy, and don't want to worry about land access, put in for any of the central Montana units.  Plenty of public lands that include State, BLM, and Block Management Areas.  I'm assuming your using a rifle, but if you want to try with bow, then put in for the 900 series tag.  The draw results are good, and you can hunt antelope with a bow almost anywhere you want in the state.  Season starts Aug 15th.  If you can't find public land with antelope in Montana, then you need to call me.  Fun times!

I've always wanted to give Montana antelope a try. Whwn you say central part of the state with good access do you have some unit numbers? I'm not even sure how the units work up there. Nothing specific just a point in the right direction so I can start my own research without wasting time. I worked on a ranch in western Montana when I was a kid and have always wanted to go back to the state to hunt something on my own.

They changed the way they lay out the units from the way they did antelope in the past.  Basically if you put in for the draw, which is still open, you may be drawn in the equivelant to Big Game Units 13 & 17.  If you are assigned a ranch, you may be hunting side by side with an outfitted hunter who paid $5,500 to $6,800 for a Trophy Hunt on the same piece of land.  In the event you don't get drawn, New Mexico is loaded with out of state owners that have landowner tags they never get rid of and will often wheel and deal up to a couple weeks before the hunt.

If your hunting the BLM or State Lands with an ATV, you will need a New Mexico sticker for it.

Here's a couple pics of Pronghorns over 80 we've been able to shoot there.
