First Antelope Siting

I'm still surprised how long it took before I saw my first antelope. I came to this section where you could see so far so I figured I'd get some pictures. I stopped, got off my motorcycle and moved around to the other side and as I was standing there looking about I saw it coming right at me. So much so that I had to look to see if there was a fence and it was some farm animal coming to chit chat. I was a tiny bit nervous when I realized there was no fence but it did a slow arc away from me and then I was able to see what it was.
Later coming back through Montana they were thick were the grasses were still long. I have to admit it got me thinking of hunting. But how does one sneak up on an animal that can see for miles?
