Anyone going antelope hunting next weekend?

7 of us going up to Wyoming for opening day next Satuday. We have 22 tags to fill. Mostly doe though. I have never shot any big (well almost) game before. My bro is the big hunter and they filled their 12 tags on opening day last year.

Wow... I get one every year.
In eastern Colorado they refer to them as prairie maggots. The land owners want them gone. You just need to knock on some doors to get permission on private property. Preferably a year prior to getting a license for that area.

The further east you go away from Denver, the more likely you will be to get permission.

The only issue I have out east is the amount of poaching and road hunting that occurs.
You stop your truck to spot the antelope through binoculars and/or a spotting scope and the antelope on opening morning run at a distance of over a 1/2-3/4 mile because they have been shot at before opening day.

I'll be going to Wyoming as well, but not until 3rd week of Oct.

Good luck.

I suppose it just depends on the area you are applying for. We are going in area 47 just north of medicine bow. about 60 miles NW of Laramie. I'll be sure to post some pics here next week. Now I have to finish sighting in my 270 Savage.

Now that sounds like way too much work. Who's gonna clean and process all that meat? the guide?

Processing will be done in Laramie. Nothing like sticking your hands into a hot gutpile
