[QUOTE="trebark, post: 681465, member: 19172"] Hunted Wyoming last year and took a couple of bucks at 600+ yards. Here's a thread my buddy and I wrote up at the time and a few thoughts off the top of my head now (in no particular order) Maps: [url=http://www.huntinggpsmaps.com/]Hunting GPS Maps - Public/Private Land Ownership names for your GPS[/url] Thorns - they are everywhere. You WILL crawl on the ground, so take your knee pads and elbow pads. Optics - all the talk you hear about 'buy the best glass you can afford' DEFINITELY applies in longrange hunting in Wyoming. Truck Hunting - if you ride around in your truck and spot antelope, DO NOT stop where they can see you. Antelope are accustom to moving vehicles, but as soon as they stop, you have their attention and they see more a mile away. So if you spot them, drive over the next hill and get out of sight. Then get out and stalk your way back to them. If you get to where you can see them, drop the ground. If you need to get closer, find a strategy that gets you closer that keeps you out of sight. Prairie Dogs - you will find some dog towns. No license is required. Spend some time shooting at them. Definitely helps with wind doping skills. btw...12mph wind is a normal day for wind.
