I was in your shoes about 2 years ago looking for information on where to hunt antelope in WY. What I can tell you is that the hunting is a blast. You probably won't get very many responses until you do some research and start asking more unit specific questions. A simple search on this site...
No, there is a separate draw for just the doe/fawn tags. I don't think they are subject to preference points. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
I know some units have left over after the draw and those are sold OTC, but there are some units that have no left over tags (usually the units...
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think the reduced price doe/fawn tags are subject to preference points.
Or at least I hope so because I may have just burned up the point I started saving last year!!!
Many of the guys have already given you good information. I've only been to Wyoming once antelope hunting but I'll give you what I learned:
-My party (3 of us) applied for the special drawing with no preference points and we all draw. I knew we wouldnt have a chance without the special tag and...
It's good that WY now allows .22 centerfires. I think we're all in agreement that within the limits of reason .22 centerfire rifles are effective on deer sized game and smaller.
Definitely a good play on the part of fish and game to put a grain restriction at 60 grains, which eliminates the...
The draw odds are posted on the WY game and fish website so anyone can access that. It goes back several years so you can see which units typically draw with no or fewer preference points.
Make sure you get a GPS and chip....It's basically invaluable.
The WY landscape is second to none. I did my first hunt out there this year and absolutely loved it.
I had a GPS and agree that it's invaluable. Two of the 3 antelope our group killed would not have been shot at without the chip. Only one was shot on a large HMA that was easy to tell the...
Great pictures...thanks for sharing. That second buck is a monster!
I did my first WY antelope hunt this year and took a decent 12" buck. I get him back from the taxi in a couple weeks then I'll see what he scores. Being a flat lander with no antelope in my state, I found them surprisingly...
Since you didn't do any research and ask specific questions before you posted this thread, I'll give you info on where you can find it. Everyone here is very helpful if you do research on your own and ask pointed questions. My first WY trip was this last Oct and several forum members gave me...
Thanks, Bob. So if I understand this right I apply for a doe only tag just like a regular tag, then after I draw my tag I can buy up to 2 more over the counter? That would mean a max of 3 doe only tags per person?
I assume also that there are no preference points taken into consideration and...
Hi Guys:
I did a WY antelope hunt this year. All 3 of us in our group put in for special- any antelope tags and drew our units. We all harvested our animals.
Now, for next year, another friend would like to go to WY on doe tags.
I'm not sure how this works...is that also a draw? Do you...
I had a 16" DPMS Bull (Sweet 16) and it was plenty accurate to 300y or more. Not sure I'd want to tote around an extra 6" on a bull barrel unless you are set up and not hiking around much.
These days I prefer a lighter barrel or bolt gun for all the hiking I do.
I don't however doubt that...
Great bunch of animals you've got there! Thanks for sharing the pics.
I keep seeing all of these harvest photos with .25-06's. I might have to look into one.
Great deer, Cliff. When I was in WY about a month ago it seemed like the Antelope liked being below 7000 ft. If I would have known the big boys were further up the hills, I would have gone after!
