Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

First Antelope Hunt. WY 2020

Thanks! This was our second year in this unit. We went 7 days after opening day and before the second weekend. It wasn't as busy as the previous year when we went opening day before the first weekend. Still some hunters around. Less antelope spotted on public this year, but we only hunted 2 days. Also, I go after the first public land buck I see in these units and he was the first one so didn't do much hunting after that. It was a typical hunt that you read about in these units, spotted him a mile into public land away from roads, ect. Did the same thing last year, except hunted 3 days. I feel like I was pretty lucky, but at the same time feel like I can go in and find an antelope in this unit on public land if I am willing to walk.

Awesome, Thank you for the reply! I plan to do a 2021 trip and only have a point so I will be limited to choosing one of those units with less than stellar public land access. Planning on taking a few of my buddies along with, we are a long way from Wyoming. Since we are so far I am panning a week long trip with at least 5 full days to hunt. Just trying to get a feel for what to expect. I will also take the first public land buck I see and am definitely willing to walk. I won't be able to make a trip out west every year so hoping for some success. Anyway, just trying to do the research now and hope for the best.

Drew a local tag. Tough finding quality bucks. Pretty happy with this one.

My 12 year old with a ND antelope doe that he drew as his second choice. First antelope with hopefully many more to come!

My son insisted on packing the head and cape out. ND Public land about 2-1/2 miles in off of the road.

A little 2020 WY archery fun later during the rifle season peak rut when all the gun hunters were LONG gone...

Spot and stalk with a little be the decoy hat and shirt thrown in to aid the last bit of approach on the buck...And yes I was wearing the requisite orange as well.

Dinkacide no doubt, but a special day I’ll never forget.

"Dinkacide"! No way; that there is a trophy shot for sure. Smiles all around ... but that smile in the center says, "We got an antelope, Dad! Where's the jerky?"

My wife’s first antelope, she passed on one that I would’ve broke my left arm to shoot (regretted it shortly after) but we lucked out and found this fella. Right at 16”. Montana.

Holy SH!t, I'd give me left big toe to shoot that 16" goat, what a beaut!! Congrats

Happy with this goat, had to work for him pretty hard, and best part about it was there wasn't a soul around for miles and miles and miles....

My son's buck from WY, our first Western trip but hopefully not our last!

Got my first MT antelope on Halloween. Glassed this buck at 7:30 and shot him at 4:00. The day was full of tricks but it ended with a treat.
