Applicant after the winter of 2022: "I might just throw my doe tag away if I draw one, the Wyoming antelope herds are in bad shape. WGF should take a pause from doe tags."
Same applicant in 2024: "Our group drew 8 doe tags! Gonna be a meat haul back to (state of your choice) with these new Yeti...
The race was on!
No time to unload my canoe to paddle across. Grabbed my model 70/270 and my day pack. Like a hound on a hot trail, I was off and running.
Splash! I forded the river, frigid fall water. Was deeper than I thought, cold wet nuts. What a way to start a late season doe hunt with...
Tomorrow morning well before the sun rises I will depart for Wyoming with my oldest daughter. She had some tough luck in the draw and came up empty on a buck tag, but she drew a doe tag in a different unit. The 2nd choice application was a bit of an afterthought, and if I believe what I read on...
My annual tag count is pretty significant due to great opportunities with state and tribal license options and the family ranch for access. Just in SD between state and tribal tags I should have 2 rifle antelope tags, 4 rifle deer tags (3 buck, 1 doe), 2 archery buck tags, and at least a cow elk...
Congrats! I'm a landowner in NC and I allow other hunters to hunt my places. Me and my buddy have two Antelope doe tags Type 7 for Area 23 we bought before we understood how hard it would be to find private land access to shoot a doe antelope. We are looking for a place to hunt a doe since we...
Part Two
Except for the surprise deep hole I stepped in, it was an easy crossing, sandy bottom, slow current and wide. I scrambled out, took advantage of some cover and glassed upriver.
They were still, browsing, walking, stopping, heads going up and down.
The cover was minimal...
Money bottom line, (insert any F&G agency). Gotta keep biologist and such employed with funding. Having said that WY. is pretty good at juggling that fine line. Populations are pretty low right now out there based on the past in many areas.
Intook mine with a 7mm mag.
I took mine with a 7mag. Just stay behind the shoulders. Use a bullet that will stay together so it dose not blow up and destroy everything your food.
(Sort of in order)
ID mountain goat (daughter's tag)
ID archery gen deer (semi-serious...have a few interesting bucks hanging around near me that I'll try for if they hang around)
UT rifle cow elk (burned points due to price increase)
ID deer (twin daughters and wife)
UT rifle gen deer with...
I agree. We figured out the antelope doe game toward the end of the good years. My hunting buddy and I were like dang for basically $80 we can shoot 2 does or give $300 for a buck. Ya I’ll come out and hunt does every year. My last 2 trips to Wyoming have been for does and cow elk. I’m just fine...
School Pot-lucks. Not sure if was legal, but wife used to always get asked to provide that tasty taco meat for school cinco de mayo celebrations for each of our three kids classes (2 classes per grade). Learned over the years to move from elk to MD to speed goats. The kids loved it all the same...
