SE or SW Wyoming for Pronghorn

[ntodwild]

Planning a pronghorn rifle hunt with a buddy for this coming Oct. We will be driving from Washington state so Southwest Wyoming would be better as far as mileage but would it be better for the hunting? We are thinking between Rocksprings and Rawlins units 92,96,60,61,62,48.

Any truth to Wyoming requiring a guide for out of state residents to hunt wilderness areas in Wyoming?


Thanks for the info folks.

Yes. That’s the truth but that shouldn’t mess with your antelope hunt at all. Do you guys have a stack of antelope points? You’ll need them for those units.

You might also consider northeast Wyoming. It's really not any further than SW Wyoming, and tags are easier to draw there. How many points do you have?

You only need a guide to hunt Wilderness with a capital “W”. Won’t affect your antelope hunt. As mentioned, you’ll need close to a decade’s worth of points or more if you want to hunt most of those units. Good luck!

A little farther East will get into easier areas to draw and plenty of pronghorn.
The wilderness study areas are not included in the wilderness guide law.

Depending on how may points you have, east has better drawing odds.
