Hey guys, ive been wondering the last few days about the quality of Antelope bucks you can find right now in Montana vs. the quality of bucks you can currently find in Wyoming. I’ve hunted both states for Antelope, and I know there are some really big bucks in both states, and some huge bucks in some of the top Wyoming units, but I don’t have enough hours hunting them under my belt in both states to definitively answer my own question.
Let’s say for arguments sake, you are looking for a 78”+ buck. Where do you stand a better chance of finding bucks of this caliber, in Montana’s Region 7 or in any Wyoming unit that currently takes 3-4 points to draw? Is Wyoming head and shoulders above Montana? Or is it reasonable to assume chances are equal?
This is a pretty broad question because of just how much country this question encompasses, but I am not really looking for a detailed answer. I have been diligent in gaining points for Antelope in WY, but admittedly don’t have the same enthusiasm for gaining points in Montana (mainly because of the winter kill 5 years ago). I’m wondering if I should be just as diligently applying in MT.
