[rec.hunting] antelope pilgrim

I have been hunting in Oregon all of my life, but never put in for an antelope
tag until this year. Should I draw, I would like to have the benefit of any of
your experiences you are willing to share. My partner (who also put in as a
single) says that if either of us draw, he knows where we are "guaranteed" a
nice waldo, but you know partners... 

I have heard that besides stalking, some hunters (bowhunters mostly) take 
advantage of the antelope's curiosity by putting a white flag or milk jug
out and wait nearby. The animals supposedly can't resist checking it out. 
Is this for real, and what other techniques do you use? We would hunt in the
Eastern Oregon Desert. Thanks for any/all replies... Pat
