-First time poster, long time lurker.
Good morning,
I came across this site via the videos posted regarding hunting on public lands, and I have been following along and reading through the threads for sometime.
Last year was the first year that my daughter has been able to hunt and we have been taking every opportunity that we can to enjoy what hunting the outdoors and conservation has to offer. We have been doing 3D archery shoots and have participated in all the traditional Wisconsin hunting seasons.
Last year she was able to harvest her first doe with a crossbow, a buck during rifle season (with rounds she loaded herself). Earlier this year for spring break we went to Texas so that she could do a hog hunt and we brought home a cooler full of meat. A couple weeks ago she harvested her first turkey (25lb, 10" beard and 1.5" spurs). I would like to expand our experiences and exposure to different species.
Now she wants to do an antelope hunt, and this is why I am here. I don't know the first thing about antelope hunting and I am hoping to find some knowledgeable folks who are will to help provide me with an education. If at all possible I would like to do hunt this fall in WY. It does not matter to me if it is a doe or buck hunt. I would like to keep the cost down in an attempt to keep the wife happy. The exact location does not matter.
I think I have everything I need to pull this off. We can camp anywhere, I have the gear, and we can practice all summer. What I don't have is the foundation knowledge yet. I have watched tons of videos and read up on everything. I find that I learn better though experience however. We spend plenty of time camping in the mountains all over the West so the terrain and weather are something that I am ready for.
One additional item that I am missing are buddies that would want to go along. Most of my buddies are the traditional WI deer hunters. A box of ammo will last them for several seasons and they don't have the desire to travel far or work too hard for the hunt.
If I am going to go hunting out of state I would like to find someone else to go along. It is always nice to have another person along in the back county. As many of you know a lot can and does go not as planned and if it is just me and my daughter, it would be nice to have some assistance.
If there are any folks on here that would be willing to chat and help educate me I am all ears.
Thank you,
