WY antelope 5 pts nonresident

[CONative44]

I've got 5 nonres points that I'm looking to spend this year. Right now I'm leaning toward units 46 or 79, based on toprut data.

I'll be driving in from CO so southern half of the state would be ideal.

Anyone been in this situation before and have recommendations where to hunt?

Just hunt where you’ll draw IMO. Shoot for a unit that took 3-4 points. Tough spot to be honestly

Never hunted Wyoming for pronghorn before, but a significant portion of the state has dramatically been impacted by this winter. What type of hunt are you looking for? Trophy, high numbers, style? The trophy quality and population in many units is going to be way down. If I were you I would hold off for a couple years.

Are you planning on applying in the special? If not you most likely won't draw either unit. Even in the special with all the tag cuts not sure you could draw 79. If you're 100% sure you wanna burn your points and get out the game in WY do as suggested and find a 2-3 point unit. If not probably not the year to burn your points.

You can just about throw all the previous point data out with yesterdays expected and correct to do so tag cuts. Pick a unit on map your interested in and apply maybe you draw but likely you dont. Antelope and deer points in wy just became significantly less valuable in short term. Good luck!

All good points... I'm not looking for a trophy hunt necessarily, really just an opportunity to hunt... but if the numbers are really that bad maybe this just isn't the year.
