Thanks to Redmule for the advice in the other thread! Does anyone else have any pointers for hunting pronghorns? I drew for Texas county which looks to have fewer numbers than Cimmaron but tickled to death anyhow.
Some also will let you shoot all the prairie dogs you want. You have to use rimfire though or the Game wardens will cite you.

Is this only during the controlled hunt? Just curious as I really want to go get some Pdogs.
Posted a reply on the Controlled hunt thread for you. Don't limit yourself to grassland. Around here there are a lot of antelope that live most of their lives on the CRP and crop land. One of best ways to hunt that I have found is to drive around the land you are able to get permission on then once find some, figure out how to sneak up close enough to them to get a shot. Not always important to have lots of cover, because antelope are really curious. First time I went out, saw 4 does, and just got out of the pickup and bent over as far as I could, and started walking right up to them. They saw me after I had went a couple of hundred yards and started watching me. After another 100 yards, they started coming to see what I was. Just laid down and they came within about 200 yards. Could not get the shot I wanted at the antelope I wanted, so passed them up. Shot the one I wanted about 2 hours later about 2 miles away.
