Get it to Living Legends Taxidermy in Casper, WY. He just took 2nd in the world with his own Antelope Wall Pedestal form as seen on his website at https://livinglegendstaxidermy.com/. I am actually having him do my buck on this form.
Took my 1st antelope in WY Area 68. What a GORGEOUS area to hunt with a ton of history.... Oregon Trail, Pony Express, Mormon Handcart Museum, WWII aircraft doing target practice in the area, etc. We saw a TON of antelope as well, several in the high 70s and one that might have gone 80. I...
I am heading out there about the same time, what area is your tag in? Here are a few things in addition to your list:
Leather gloves to prevent cactus from sticking in you when crawling?
Know where your rifle shoots (hold over) at various ranges out to your max distance.
Make sure you have one...
Also... do some e-scouting. Google "Wyoming Area 75 antelope forum" and it will search all forums for posts regarding this area. I did the same thing for the hunt I am preparing for in another area, it got me in touch with a lot of guys who hunted recently. I networked with them and every...
With one point you will probably only be able to draw an area in the eastern part of WY, which is mostly private land and hunts with outfitters. Do your research.... Google, hunt forums, facebook groups, etc and you can find a decent hunt that is not that expensive.
I was looking into hunting this area but applied elsewhere. If l drew l was going to stay in Thermopolis at Eagle RV Park. They have cabins you can rent that looked very nice and reasonably priced.
Last year I successfully drew WY Area 68 for Antelope. This was a hunt my buddy and I had saved up points for years to do and we were looking forward to it. Unfortunately, two family members experienced life threatening medical emergencies at exactly the same time days before my departure. I...
I am currently sitting on 12 deer points in WY. Yes, I know the herd quality is down... but for my own reasons, I want to hunt this year. Any advice on where to apply? Here are my requirements:
Nothing in Grizzly country
No mountains, looking for an open country hunt
I would prefer to be in...
I'm taking my .300 Win Mag to WY this fall for Antelope. Shooting 180gr Nosler Accubonds. Gun shoots 1/2 inch MOA. WAS HOPING TO BRING MY .264 Win Mag, but so far its not shooting nearly as well.
Start doing research. Eastmans Tag Hub,MRS, Guys Top Antelope Units, GoHunt, Huntin' Fool, forums, Wyoming Game & Fish Website, etc. You can do a lot of "digital" scouting and research. Get familiar with the blue chip areas and how many points it took this year to draw them. Narrow it down...
Burned 9 points and pulled an Area 68 WY pronghorn tag. Heading out with my college roommate. Camping near Alcova on the North Platte River so we can flyfish. Very excited!
If anyone has hunted 68 recently or fished the North Platte in early October l would love to hear any input or advice...
