Unit 23 & snow
Guys - Thanks for the information. I guess I’ll be careful on the roads and hope for the best. I planned for an extra day and now I’m glad I did. Thanks again 25/06 -

Unit 23 & snow
I’m arriving in WY on Thursday and it looks like the weather is going to be nasty. We are flying into Cheyenne (was cheaper/sounded good at the time) and now have to drive to north of Casper. We get into Cheyenne around noon. Should be fun. I’ve seen the question asked about effects of... -

WY Unit 21 Antelope Quality
Thanks for the replies. I hunted around Douglas about 10 years ago and shot a good goat by my standards (16”/78). It looks like I may need to temper my expectations a little in that unit. It’s very positive to hear that numbers are good. I’m really just looking forward to spending some time... -

WY Unit 21 Antelope Quality
I have access to a private ranch next month in Unit 21. How is the game quality there? I’ve never hunted that far north and was wondering if trophy quality is comparable to the south central area I’ve hunted before. I’m coming from TX so boots on the ground scouting isn’t possible. I really... -

Thanks to everyone for all of the advice. I haven’t hunted antelope in WY since 2009 so I’m excited to get back. -

Unit 23 draw question
neffa3 - I know it changes year to year, but what kind of quality is reasonable up there? We plan on putting in 3 good days at the very end of the season. -

Unit 23 draw question
Guys - Thanks for all of the input. Follow up dumb question: if I put 23 as a second choice, do I automatically get a preference point or do I need to go the leftover route to get an additional PP this year? Thanks again for all of the great advice. I’m already looking forward to this hunt! -

Unit 23 draw question
I would appreciate it if I could get some advice on drawing a WY antelope tag. I got the good news that I’m going to have access to a private ranch in Unit 23. I have 2PP’s. The unit was 100% draw last year. I would like to choose some impossible to draw unit as my first pick and Unit 23 as... -

Pronghorn Boots
I did a guided hunt for my first goat hunt. I obssessed about boots (and guns and bino's). Our guide wore a pair of low Keen-type hikers. Next trip I'm leaving the Meindls at home and wearing my high Keens. -

Factory Ammo Recommendations
I have shot a boatload of deer with both the 115 Nosler Ballistic Tip and 110 Accubond in 25/06. I think either would work great. I've only shot a couple deer with the 7/08 (out of an Encore pistol) and used 120 Ballistic Tips and 140 Accubond. In the .243, I've always used 95 grain... -

GPS recommendations
Thanks for the input guys! My first pronghorn hunt was with a guide on private property. I want to make sure I get the GPS and chip so I can do this right. I think I may go ahead and get everything so I can start playing with it. This community is awesome and I always appreciate everyone's... -

GPS recommendations
Guys - Thanks for the valuable insight. I have follow up concerning the chip: is there any downside to getting the chip sooner rather later? I've thought I may go ahead and get the new GPS and chip so I could use it for planning. I'm specifically concerned about revisions to the content... -

GPS recommendations
I've been planning my 2017 WY antelope hunt for some time and have been accumulating gear. I think I am just about set on gear with one exception: a new GPS. This will be my first DIY antelope hunt and it looks like an OnXMaps chip is pretty much mandatory equipment (or in the very least... -

ATV for Antelopes? To bring or not to bring
Thanks for posting the question. I was wondering about this. We would only bring one for driving on authorized roads in case of bad weather. We are also coming from Texas so that's a long way to drag a Mule if it'a not really necessary. -
