Wyoming NR doe tag drawing question
Ok, this must be where I was getting confused--so there's a way to do it where I could, in fact, only get both or none. My suspicion is this is what my friend and I each did last year, as we both got two doe tags each in an area where our odds were only about 50%--so we were definitely not... -
Wyoming NR doe tag drawing question
Howdy all, I can't find the answer to this and I've seen conflicting things on here. If I apply for two doe tags in the same unit, if I draw one, will I automatically draw the second? I've only done this once, applied for two, drew them both. But I want to know, do I have a chance of drawing 1... -
What % of public land is not worth the effort?
I've hunted south eastern Wyoming that time of year the last couple years, and it's really hit or miss in terms of weather. Both times we were there that time of year there was a snowstorm one of the days of the hunt. But both times there was also a sunny day with temperatures in the 50s/60s... -
Pronghorn in Wyoming
I'm assuming you're a non-resident. If so, don't forget Wyoming has the "special" tag, which is a lot more expensive than a "full price" tag (it's $629 as opposed to $341), but it has much better draw odds as a result and opens up some more units to you. Still, as people on here have said... -
Wyoming Antelope, here I come (again).
We did a hotel (on points). We were thinking about camping, but the first two nights it got down to about 10 degrees, so that dissuaded us pretty fast. We did see several tents in the unit this year, whereas last year we saw none. I took the skull to Exploding Pill Taxidermy in Casper. That's... -

Wyoming Antelope, here I come (again).
Postscript This was a great trip for all three of us. After last year, where we really didn’t get a ton of opportunities on antelope, this felt very different. We saw a lot more herds/large groups of antelope, and there were several times where we could have easily taken more if we wanted to... -
Wyoming Antelope, here I come (again).
Day 3: Last hurrah So we had decided after day two that we only wanted one more buck. We had three doe tags left between us as well, but each of us now had a doe in the bag and no one particularly needed the additional meat (I’ll find the link on here to the place I can donate the tags now that... -
Wyoming Antelope, here I come (again).
Day 2: A long, long hike Day 2 was always going to be our “long hike” day. The unit we were hunting has a ton of BLM land in a huge chunk, but it’s only legally accessible (assuming you don’t have permission to cross private) from two places, and neither of those places has road access. So if... -
Wyoming Antelope, here I come (again).
So first thing, the snow. Mostly a non event. The unit we were in got less than an inch. It's cold. Really cold. But for folks coming to east and central Wyoming this week, you'll be fine. Ok. The hunt. Started the day in a new part of the unit that we didn't hunt last year. And we made the... -
Wyoming Antelope, here I come (again).
Drove through a little bit of snow on the very tail end of the trip, but nothing too bad so far here in Wyoming. Hopefully the roads will be open tomorrow and we can get after it. -
Unit 23 & snow
Curious if anyone has any first-hand experience re: snow road closures in Wyoming. It's looking like most places are calling for somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 inches--is that enough to close the interstates? -
Wyoming Antelope, here I come (again).
Here we go. I had such a good experience with my first Wyoming public land antelope hunt last year that I put in for three more tags this year and drew them all. I’ll be hunting the same unit, this time with two buddies—one who accompanied me last year and one who’s new to hunting. Between the... -
Evidence of sex question
I'm assuming in this that by "processing" when you say "cutting and vac sealing" you're just talking about field processing, meaning you could still leave the visible sex organs attached. -
Evidence of sex question
Ok, but to be clear, in Wyoming, you don't always have to keep the head if you keep the evidence of sex on the animal--so you could leave the visible sex organs attached, freeze the meat like you're planning, then remove it when you get home. (because as far as I know, Antelope are not one of... -

Newbie Trip Report: Nothing but sore and lessons learned
Sorry to hear your hunt didn't work out the way you wanted. I know you did a ton of legwork and were a frequent contributor on here this past year. Stick with it and you'll get there. And maybe consider expanding your range of states/game for next year. Antelope in Wyoming? Elk in Colorado or... -

I Need Some Honest Opinions
You're wrestling with a tough question (one that all of us will have to, at some point or another, in some shape, form, or fashion), and hats off to you for being open and honest and seeking input. I have no dilemma, morally or otherwise, with shooting a calf--they issue those tags for a reason... -
More than just a hunt
Good job doing your leg work in terms of access. And really great outcome. I have said I don't want to pay an access fee, but this doesn't really feel like that--$100 and some labor somehow feels much better to me than $500. Doesn't feel transactional--feels like you made a connection with good...
