Currently have 9 Wyoming points

[wvhunter304]

Sitting at 9. Won't be able to hunt this year so 10 points for 2025. Any recommendations for public land, DIY areas?

Have hunted Medicine Bow area once and was successful on a normal goat.

You probably won't be getting any specific unit recommendations here.

Using GoHunt and the like will be your friend. To get you started there are 21 units that were 100% odds in the regular draw with 9 points that have 75%+ success rates, trophy potential of 75"+, and greater than 50% public land.

Wait and see what the price hikes do this year before you plan to much. Could change everything.

Unit 23 and park on the highway.

Party app with a loved one. You don’t need 10 points to have a good pronghorn hunt in WY.

I would wager with the winter kill last year and the point increase he might need them. Especially if he wants a reasonable opportunity at a book antelope.

True but it is getting harder and harder to do, especially if you like those western units with lots of public land. It takes getting a bit more creative these days.

Won’t argue both of those points here. What I can say is there’s still very good 5 point units for those willing to put in the work. A lot of it is based on what your goals are but I got in on a 2 point unit looking for my first one and shot a 76” buck.

That’s a fun throwback!

I feel like I missed that one.

Do tell

 

[Forkyfinder]

Lots of good areas across the state with benefits and drawbacks.

Id pick the unit youll be able to hunt the most.

I meant I missed the hunt and the goat? Maybe not?

Alrighty folks. We’re back in the west, we got preference points, we’re a year wiser, we’re in the draw everywhere. Follow along with me from last year as we journey across the Wild West to achieve my first big game harvest. All kidding aside, if I don’t get anything this year, I don’t know what...

Somewhere in there.

Ya know we generally have more antilope than people in the state. Any area will do. I like hunting the red desert area. My girls and I take 2 days to get 3 goats. 1 usually measures around 80 inches. Plus watching the wild horses is perty kool

I remembered the first goat but not the second one.

You've got some great options with those points. Best of luck.

 

[Creedance91]

I think you can make it happen in most units. You just have to adapt. If you have less contiguous public land, you're going to drive a lot and have to catch animals in the right spot. If you have a giant piece of public, you can set up a camp and hike around for your 'back country' hunt.

I think some people get tied up in the style of hunt they want, and not every unit can provide that. There's a mess of pronghorn out there though. Locating and shooting one isn't a monumental task. Whole different ball game if you are trying to optimize for trophy potential, you're adding some self-inflicted difficulty. That's up to you, if the juice is worth the squeeze for trophies.

If there's somebody lurking out there with 7-10 points and wants to solidify our party app to draw in a 90% public land unit for big healthy pronghorn bucks this year - let me know. Special app required. I was going to change my username to Jims before posting this. So far it's me and Spitz, maybe another guy. The more (points) the merrier.

10 points next year puts you in the money in a lot of good places.
