Colorado Hunter's Decoy Antelope Strategy Misses the Mark

A herd of antelope in Colorado proved too shrewd for a keen hunter who was trying out a newly-bought animal decoy to see how close he could get to his targets.

Footage captured by Megan Vaughan of Colorado Springs shows her husband creeping through a field behind an “antelope decoy” before the herd flees the area, leaving the hunter to admit that his strategy was not “foolproof”.

Posting the footage to YouTube on September 14, Vaughan wrote, “My husband is excited to hunt antelope for the first time this fall.”

However, she added that she was “not sure that was how it was supposed to go.” Credit: Megan Vaughan via Storyful
