Last minute Wyoming advice.

[bocajnala]

Leaving tomorrow for the 24 hour drive to Wyoming.

Any last minute advice for a first time antelope hunter?

I have several paper maps and the onx app. Hoping that gets us enough public Access to find some goats.

What unit did you draw?

After thinking about this, I thought I'd add, if you find where they are at before dark, they will be there in the morning. They do not move at night like deer or elk.

What unit? Antelope are generally easy to find, a lot harder to defeat their eyesight.

Don't forget to have a good time. I took my daughter this year on her first WY hunt. IT was awesome. When you get one, get the hide off and get it cooled down as quickly as reasonable.

Unit 29. All public

Dan't meat market in Casper does a nice job processing game. I know it is west of where you are looking to hunt however.

Are there any places in the area that will do a euro mount for me there? And ship it out or have it done in a couple days?

I'm taking everything I need to process myself. Including a freezer.

Four of us are going

I'd consider doing the euro mount yourself. There was an easy to follow set of instructions in Field&Stream a while back and I'm sure there are some online. Just skin and salt the head til you get it home. Scoop the rest of the goodies out and it's ready for a bleach water boil to remove most of the rest. Comes out looking pro.

Another thing... be ready for some hellacious winds almost guaranteed.

Advice- shoot straight. If you can't do that shoot a lot. Haha.

Weather can be all over this time of year, just be prepared for that.

Most of all have fun!!

I usually do. But I'm not interested in doing the 3 others. And I know they'll ask. They've paid me to do them before. But I would rather just have a place and get them done so I don't have to worry about them.

I didn't mind doing them in years past. But with three young kids now my time is more valuable than it used to be lol

Thanks for all the good advice so far. I'm excited!

I'm packed for 80 deg- to windy teens. And I've got 100rds loaded up. I'm hoping that's enough

If you spot an antelope 2 miles away through a spotting scope, and it's looking in your direction... it sees you. Lol

It's easy to be excited about your first hunt. I get to flop out for my 34th lope hunt on 10/8 so I'm all jammed up as well. Good luck and check back
