Since I posted on this thread about 3 years ago, still have not hunted lope. Good part is now have 6 points. Hoping for some public land hunt. Best of luck to everyone. FWB

Lot of good ideas on this thread. Were you shooting over uneven thermals? Part grain stubble part lava rock, for example? Constant temp from 200yd zero to 503 yd group? Thanks for posting..................FWB

Suggestion: drive to the North end of the unit at the pass into Montana. Follow the road south along the state boundry line. At various places hike down thru your unit to a vehicle waiting along the highway. Start mid day when thermals rising. Medium hikes, always looking and hiking down. No...

Sounds as if the power split in your family is well delineated. Be happy with cleaning house and watching ball game. Sounds like your future is planned............sorry buddy................FWB

Have 3 skilled friends that hunted this unit very hard last year. I will get you some current info, and get their recommends on where to stay, and some places to look. ...May take a week. ......FWB

Is it Possible that it was overtightened, and cracked the forend before the shot was ever fired? And the recoil finished it off? Sorry about your gun.........................FWB

Thanks Wyodog.................although all public land units that I was interested in were heavily oversubscribed......as I noted......several members here directed me toward private land units where trespass fees were do-able. I found fees were 500 to 1100..called a lot..some suggested that...

This from the Wyom Game and Fish website is what confused me: Doe/Fawn drawing odds (unit 63, my choice) quota 67 first choice applicants 367 FWB

Topgun..........thanks for the reply. I re-read the drawing, and the odds for the last 5 years. There were no public land units for antelope that were not oversubscribed. One could not "buy" a tag and go hunt. One could apply, and maybe with enough points, hunt, maybe not. But my statement that...

Kenny .....last year non residents, with $600 applic, and 4 points had a 54.5% draw in unit 100..............I could not get the resident stats to load.........assume its a lot better.......hope you draw...................FW Bill

Yeah, I should have qualified that a little more....................without preference points, for antelope in Wyoming. But on reviewing most public land units stats published by Game and fish, the quota for non-residents without points is zero. And yes, it is coming to an end........we have...

Kenny..............thanks for the reply. I know you mean well, but the days of buying a tag and hunting on public land are coming to an end...................FWB

Whoa, Cody.............too bad you just shot the first thing that came along.......didn't try harder (haha:p).....................Seriously.................a seriously stunning goat!!! Beats my best ever..................congrats...................FW Bill

Jski.............good read that you posted. Certainly makes the 3 (4 with the 244 added) seem the same. My personal experience in the field with all of them, was a little different though. There are some good reasons that the Roberts and the 6mm died, and I never could equal the penetration that...

Thanks guys for everyone that posted. Learned something. Found out it is about same for Wyom trespass fee as fully guided hunt in other some states. Am going the latter route, but it was worth a try...............good hunting to all...........FWB
