After 7 years of applying and collecting points I finally drew my antelope buck tag for unit 87 (pawnee). I was wondering if anyone has hunted it before and has any tips. I plan to scout, etc in September but wondering if anyone was familiar with that area and wouldn't mind me asking them a few questions? Looking forward to breaking out the 1980's Winchester Mod 70 featherweight in .257 Bob for the first time in a long time. Thanks in advance!

Well, even within the Pawnee Grasslands there is a significant amount of private land so get OnXMaps or another app that will be able to tell you if you are on private or public. Huntscore (https://huntscore.com/hunts/co/prong...7-bd5cbae87f57) doesn't rate that GMU all that high (pretty low on public access) and honestly all of the times I have gone up there to shoot (I go pretty deep in to the grasslands to some areas where you won't see another person the entire weekend) I haven't seen many antelope. There are a number of water troughs for cattle out there though so I would get on Google Earth and find all them that you can and then scout those areas.

My experience hunting in Pawnee is that where you usually go to shoot you never see another person, then on opening day you spot orange in every direction possible, especially in areas with limited public access.
