WY antelope /deer conundrum….your thoughts?

[tmoz]

How many tags are in your pronghorn unit vs public land access? We typically wait until the 2nd week of season to let the opener crowds disperse, but that's in a crowded unit. On a cold year pronghorn can start to group up in mid-late October, leading to a harder stalk and less clean shot opportunities.

I wouldn't sweat missing the opener, but my priority would be the pronghorn tag. Muley behavior won't drastically change through that pre-rut time.

A solution to consider is donating the doe tags to one of the veterans organizations. I believe there are programs that allow the tags to be transferred You got lucky and drew a great tag, and 2 disabled vets will get to enjoy the doe tags you provided.

That's a win win in my book.

For me I would look at how much public land there is, if it is limited I would get there early before all the antelope get pushed onto private. If there is a lot of public I would go later.

super plan
