I have a question about purchasing additional doe antelope tags. If i'm reading right, WY makes up to 4 additional doe tags available if I draw a type 1 tag. Is that right? If I draw a type 1 tag can I purchase an additional 4 doe tags and harvest up to 5 antelope. I know, harvesting 5...
$48 for an antelope doe tag is joke. If there were leftover tags and an abundance of antelope I think that'd be a fair deal. But it doesn't seem so fair for the antelope at the moment.
The best wild game steak I’ve ever made for myself was the tenderloin from a NM doe antelope. I did get the hide off it and the meat on ice as soon as possible. Delicious.
Arizona:
Elk, antelope
Colorado:
Antelope point, try to snag a doe tag on a second choice.
Deer point, try to snag a rifle tag on a second choice.
Elk point, try to snag an limited entry archery tag on a second choice. Failing that, probably OTC rifle.
M/MG/S points
Kansas:
Deer point, drew...
i drew a montana antelope tag this fall and was considering trying to stop in wyoming on a leftover whitetail doe tag coming home. unit 17 and 18 have quite a few leftover. yes, i know limited access is the reason such tags are normally leftover. im more familiar witht the tags in the black...
You can get up to 2 doe tags in the initial draw then pick up 2 more in the leftover draw if available.
Antelope numbers are way down that is why folks are saying to not use your doe tags.
Look into a reduced price cow elk tag for more meat on your trip.
Shooting 5 antelope isn't that difficult getting 4 doe tags is. There is a random draw for doe antelope tags and the odds for any unit with good access is low. Only the tags not snagged in the draw will go to a leftover list where they can be bought. Any tag that can be purchased on the leftover...
WY antelope doe tags are probably harder to draw than the buck tag now days. Like said above if it's a leftover it's probably private land only or extremely limited public.
It also coincides with when the R3 movement really started to gain momentum. Doe antelope were promoted as the cheap and easy way to get introduced to western hunting.
NM - D, E, A, Oryx and Javelina already bagged and tagged.
WY - Draw for cow elk and doe antelope
I hope I get an elk tag in WY and NM but odds are against me. I may only have enough vacation for 1 hunt though. If I get skunked I will head to CO for OTC
Doe antelope have saved a handful of my hunting seasons from the meatless category. After 22/23 winter, I don't see that hunt happening in the near future, at least where I used to hunt them. Trying to tag out on 5 antelope sounds pretty exhausting. I'd just focus on the Type 1 tag.
So I'm a bit confused by this. This year will be my first year hunting antelope. However, if WY game and fish (the agency tasked with managing the antelope population) believe that there are enough antelope to issue doe/fawn tags why would that make the situation worse?
I'm in for Nevada
Bull and cow elk
Buck and doe antelope
Deer.
All I'll apply for.
12 points for Bull, so I'm hoping that should do it for a muzzle loader tag. I debated on applying for elk with my health, but went for it. And my wife didn't accuse me of being crazy for wanting to do it.
CO is pretty tough for antelope. Most are on the eastern side of the state which is pretty much all private. There are some decent opportunities, but it takes a little research. Cross reference the draw report with units that have some public access. Likely easier to get a rifle mule deer tag...
Applicant after the winter of 2022: "I might just throw my doe tag away if I draw one, the Wyoming antelope herds are in bad shape. WGF should take a pause from doe tags."
Same applicant in 2024: "Our group drew 8 doe tags! Gonna be a meat haul back to (state of your choice) with these new Yeti...
Tomorrow morning well before the sun rises I will depart for Wyoming with my oldest daughter. She had some tough luck in the draw and came up empty on a buck tag, but she drew a doe tag in a different unit. The 2nd choice application was a bit of an afterthought, and if I believe what I read on...
