[QUOTE="338weatherby, post: 2156996, member: 114213"] If you can go with your neighbor and hunt private land, go for it. If that doesn't work, there is plenty of public/BLM land to hunt. I plan on going out this year with my 15 year old daughter. Antelope hunting can be low key and you don't have to beat your self up the mountain like elk/deer. I've hunted about an hour and a half SW of Casper about 9 seasons. All but one year, there were plenty of speed goats. One thing I want to mention though is, make sure you know the difference between a doe and immature buck. Not that easy to tell at distance. The black cheeks on the bucks at that age are fairly faint on some, almost light gray. From talking to the local game and fish, a yearling buck is still a buck. The doe/fawn tag is not for a yearling buck. Someone else may be able to shed light on this, I may be wrong but this how I understood what the warden was saying. I used my .270 when I hunted them. The others used .308's and 243's. Any of the rifle you mentioned will work fine. Just pick the one that you are most comfortable with. [/QUOTE]
