- 1). Hunt for pronghorn by sitting and looking. Due to the wide areas of flat country they inhabit, pronghorn cannot be found by continuously walking in search of them. Pronghorn must be first seen from distances beyond rifle range and then stalked.
- 2). Locate a high point of ground that overlooks a wide area of land. Sit on the spot and slowly search the areas under 100 yards with binoculars. Search all areas beyond 100 yards with a spotting scope.
- 3). Plan a stalk once a buck has been located and decided on for the taking. Study the terrain between the buck and you. Stalk toward the buck by walking in dips and low spots in the land and keeping as much high ground between you and it as possible.
- 4). Work to within 300 yards or closer if possible to the buck. Keep the wind in your face or blowing across you, but never blowing from you to the buck. Once you are in range shoot for the area in the center of the rib cage just behind the shoulder.
- 5). Take a stand overlooking an area your scouting has previously found pronghorns frequenting. Arrive before dawn and lie down on a high spot 200 to 300 yards away from the area. Watch for the pronghorn as the morning light reveals them already in the area or moving into it and shoot from your stand position.
