A little background. I have a group looking at possibly doing a WY pronghorn hunt this fall. We have an average of 4 points. I have hunted elk, mule deer, and antelope does in WY. So fairly familiar with the state. Mainly the south-central part. I would like to take my son and my nephew who are still in high school. They play football so can't be away for long during the fall. They would probably only have 2 days to hunt and have to get back. The rest of the group would likely hunt the better part of a week.
I have been reviewing the odds on gohunt. 4 points doesn't seem to go as far West as I thought it might. Should I be looking at the areas that took 3 points for last year to determine what might be drawn with 4 points this year? Not looking for trophy antelope. This will be the first antelope hunt for most in the group. Any pointers, tips, expectations or units to look into (by private message please) or AVOID would be appreciated. Mainly looking for a fun hunt with decent numbers of lopes and enough public land to be able to get 2 boys a shot with only a couple days to hunt. Wondering if 4 points is enough or we need to keep saving points for a couple more years. Thanks for any input!
