[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 968625, member: 25760"] As you mentioned, you have licenses in a unit that is primarily PRIVATE land or lacking access. There are always licenses available after the draw because of access. There are several things to do in order to have a successful hunt. The Wy G@F has landowner lists. Get that and start contacting landowners right away. They often limit their hunter numbers. Try to get on private property with a small trespass fee. Sometimes if you are doe/fawn hunting there is no fee or only a small one. They will often want you to hunt the week after the opener. The other advice about a GPS chip is spot on. The area above Beaver Cr does have some antelope. Be aware the hunting pressure is heavy and will move the animals off of it. I have taken several animals off of there in past yrs. Didn't hunt there last yr because of too many hunters. So here is the strategy. Arrive in Gillette or Buffalo at least 2-3 days before the season opens. Use the GPS and maps to scout all public land including schoolhouse sections for a antelope you want to hunt. Make sure you have legal access to public land. You get a trespassing ticket if you cross private to hunt public!!!! Also you could knock on a few doors and you might get lucky.... Find some antelope and put them to bed at last light the night before opening day. Get back there 1 hr before legal shooting light and get situated withing rifle range of where you last saw your herd of antelope. Best chance you will get is the first legal 30 min of light on opening day. Good luck Bruce [/QUOTE]
