Wyoming pronghorn unit options
The money isn't the issue. We just don't have the points to get a decent unit. It's fine. We will elk hunt next year and go for pronghorn in a couple years. -

Thank you everyone! With what all I've heard I think it best to wait and build up a few more points. I've decided to take him on a cow elk hunt next year instead. I greatly appreciate everyone taking time to respond to my post. -

Wyoming pronghorn unit options
I don't doubt that the pressure pushes them out of public pretty quickly. I suppose an outfitter is a possibility. I would like to find some private I could pay for access on, but that might not be possible. -

I'm looking to take my son on his first western hunt next year. We will only have an average of 2 points, so I know my options are limited. Does anyone have any recommendations for which unit might have the best public access? Or perhaps how to go about finding private ground to get access to... -

Colorado is the closest state to me with elk aside from Kentucky. I put in for KY every year, but my odds of getting drawn are very slim and getting slimmer every year. -

I did buy a deer preference point as well. So that's a decent option. -

I do most of my hunting alone for this exact reason. No one wants to go as hard as I do. I spent a week in the mountains of Virginia last fall trying to find a black bear. You want to talk about difficult! Lol. But I was out there morning, noon, and evening every day. I enjoy the grind. Most... -

I have thought about it. I went last year on a semi guided cow hunt but that was mostly me getting driven around in the mountains and jumping out to take a shot. This isn't a bad idea though. Possibly do a cow hunt in a unit that I'd like to bull hunt later. Get to know the area. -

I can, and probably will bank a couple days this year for next. That might afford me a short trip out of to show up an extra few days early At the moment I am. I'm trying to talk a couple buddies into going as well, but if I have to I will go solo. -

I'm not making excuses. I put a ton of time into scouting and practicing with my weapons here. I get 2 weeks of vacation and 1 week is for the family. So if I take any time to even fly out to go scout it would considerably shorten any hunting that I would get to do. I'm not "talking about doing... -

It's a 2 day drive. So 4 day round trip. I'd have to use a weeks vacation just to scout. -

I have a bear hunt this fall, but I started buying points in Colorado this year. I thought I'd try to do a 0 point unit next year and buy another point. So hopefully I can cut my teeth on the otc/zero point hunts, then in a few years get to do a more premium hunt. I love this piece of advise...
