This is good advice. I did exactly what he described and drew a second choice buck tag and a doe tag for my first antelope hunt this year. I tagged out and had a BLAST hunting antelope in Wyoming. Do your homework regarding "difficult access" units. Difficult does not mean impossible, but...
Your post hit home with me. Next week I'm heading to Wyoming solo for my first antelope hunt. I'm 59 and feeling some of the same age related issues. Getting old is not for sissys, we gotta be tough. What unit are you hunting in? What dates? Send me a PM if you like. Perhaps I could be of help...
Thanks for sharing your story. Making 5+ stalks per day sounds like an adventure worth having. Prior to your hunt you had mentioned the contrasting habitat of east vs. west in this unit. What did you find? Thanks also for the "heads up" on mosquitoes.
Let us know how your hunt goes. I will be hunting in that unit for the first time in October. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on hunting the eastern vs western portions of that unit. Good luck on your hunt!
