[QUOTE="gillettehunter, post: 859908, member: 25760"] Good job. Its nice when there are a few to choose from. I have hunted areas 17,18, 23, and 24 over the years. South of I-90 where you are hunting seems to have plenty of antelope. I'm going out in 23 in a couple of days. Been out deer hunting up in antelope areas 17 and 18. They are N of I-90. Out towards Weston and Rocky Point. Antelope numbers there are way down from 5 years ago. Spring snow storms a couple of years ago and hemmoragic disease have taken the herds way down. The number of licenses has been cut as a result. Good example just what you see driving down the road. I'm hunting basically 40 miles N of Gillette. Coming back middle of the day on Oct 1 to pick up my grandson to take him deer hunting. Saw 5 different groups of antelope from the road. Next day we did a AM hunt about 40 miles So. of Gillette. Between 25 and 30 different groups coming home. Not very scientific but it shows the trend. The rancher who's property I was hunting on commented to us on antelope numbers being down on his ranch. There are some there. Just not what there was a few years ago. I feel that someone spending the $$ to come from out of state deserves to know how hard or easy it is likely to be to get a decent buck. Good of you to shoot the buck w/ the bad foot. Did that myself a few years ago w/ a deer. No use letting them suffer. Good shooting and sounds like a great time. Congrats Bruce [/QUOTE]
