Well, I lied. We started out in the rain Friday and had several groups located in the first hour of daylight and thought that would be the case, but after 10 am we hit a wall of hunters and decided to go back and get on some of the animals we had seen earlier in the day and every group had...
We are in 705 in MT fri/sat and part of sun with 2 buck and 2 doe tags and probably not going to pass many opportunities. I hunted this area 4 years ago and there were animals everywhere, I hunted it last year on 2 doe tags and there were not many but still a few. Taking my boy to grind it...
Hunted Fall River County, SD last weekend and did not see many animals and we were on a 2 day schedule. I covered 500 miles in 2 days so not like I wasn't looking!
I gave my 13 year old son the option to punch his first pronghorn tag on a yearling buck and he said let's do it. Later the...
As has been said go wherever you can get drawn. Each state you just adjust your expectations of what class buck you want to poke at.
"WY, MT, CO, UT, and NM."
WY is a great state, just got hammered by winter kill in many spots, need a couple mild winters to rebuild, point banking time...
Populations are down quite a bit, I'd expect more tag cuts next fall. Can still find a respectable buck, but not a 1 day and done hunt like it used to be. You are going to need to cover a lot of ground (not outside of possibilities to drive 500 mi a day), know what's public and private...
Pronghorn are easy to do at home. If you can pop the sheath off, just drop the skull in a home depot bucket, cover it with water, put the lid on and let it sit somewhere downwind for a couple months. clean inside the sheath if anything left in there, whiten skull put them back together, glue...
Spent a couple days last week hunting doe tags in region 7, 705 specifically.
Overall numbers are completely decimated. I hunted same areas 4 years ago and by my eye populations are down 95-97% based on what I saw. Granted last hunt was opening day, this was week following, I'm sure that has...
Coming in hot Wednesday night but hunting South Daktoa and Montana. I called rental car place in Rapid, they don't have chains for their rental truck. We are getting 6-8 inches in my hunt areas Wed night into Thursday morning, should be interesting.
Going to drive on blacktop or county...
Flying into Rapid wednesday night. Nice of you all to gin up some weather for me.
what do antelope do in 30 mph winds and driving snow? I'm betting they get low and get out of the wind. Which means I need to get up high to try and see them, that could prove difficult.
On the upside, I dont'...
