Schmalts,
I think Idaho is OTC for Non-res archery antelope. It is for Idaho. To these links, it looks like non-res is also OTC, unlimited quota.
Idaho Non-Resident Tag Information It says antelope is $235, but click here anyway.... (http://www2.state.id.us/fishgame/common/licensing/NRTags.cfm)
Your hunting license would be $128.50

And from their website at IDFG...
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Antelope
Antelope range across much of southern Idaho and can be hunted either in the general archery season or in controlled hunts. There is no general season rifle hunt. The archery season runs from mid-August to mid-September. Most controlled antelope hunts run from late September to late October. In most areas upland bird seasons are open at the same time, allowing dual-purpose hunts. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I don't consider Idaho to be a great Antelope state. I don't think the F&G manages Antelope for hunters. I think they manage them to minimize impact on Welfare Ranchers smilies/mad.gif . The good news is, for Archery, it is usually possible to find ranchers that will help you out with access, or will even run them down in the flatbed International 1-ton for you, so you can stick them with a bow. smilies/wink.gif The guys I know that hunt them successfully with a bow find the water holes out in the middle of nowhere, and set up a blind for them. The decoy thing has not been overly successful from those that I know who have tried it. And there are a few that get killed via ambush on the ranches.
