I'm leaving the 20th to meet up with a buddy in KC and we are driving from there for the opener in unit 26. My first Antelope hunt!!! :)
 
We leave Cleveland on the 29th for Newcastle. Hunting in A7 and have 6 tags 3 buck 3doe. Probably try to buy a few more over the counter doe tags if available. Taking a Kimber .243, Savage 270, Savage 111 lrh 25-06 for the lopes. Rem 700 223, Savage 112 Bvss 22-250, Marlin 22 mag for the P-dogs. Should be a really good time, this is our first Antelope hunt.
 
Our opener is Sept. 11th in a spot west of Laramie.

Have not been there before, so we'll be there a day or two earlier to look it over.

Got the .257Wby dialed in dead-on at 300 for a 100 gr. BT @ 3500fps, so I should be ok.

Good luck to all WY hunters gun).
 
We're heading out for Casper next Thursday with a stop along the way to shoot a few Pdogs. Good luck to everyone. Taking 7RM, 270, 222, 223, 5 mm mag.
