Antelope hunting Wyoming 113-2 near Kaycee

[Ryana]

I’m from Minnesota. I’m taking my three kids who are 13, 14 and 15 antelope hunting an area 113. Second season. Opens a week from today. I see the weathers pretty warm this week but then a cold front moves in on Monday With possible snow. Just wondering what everyone thinks that will do to the antelope movement.

Will be there myself, we are packing in and camping which makes me glad for the cool temps for meat care. I have no idea what to expect, first time going to WY, first antelope hunt, but super excited!

Yes, I guess we will see. One of my forecast shows 4 to 7 inches of snow on Tuesday

I'm not seeing any chance of snow until Tuesday, and then its only 30% chance on Accuweather and The Weather Channel and the temps don't support a lot of accumulation? Think we'll be just fine!

Just got back from my hint and drove through that area. Saw a bunch from the Highway (I25). You should have a good time. Best of luck!

Yeah something is screwy with that. Hard to have a high of 50* that day by the hourly you posted. Both TWC and Accuweather still say 30% chance with a total precipitation of less than 1".

I would check on Don days weather podcast, he usually gets it right and he's a Wyoming bowhunter too.
I would be prepared for snow and cold and crappy roads.

I will second the comment by wytx. Don Day's podcast weather forecast are usually pretty close to reality.

Now the others are saying 1-3" is possible. Great lol.

We are in a close unit to you starting Tuesday. I wonder how this snow will be. Anybody have any tips on navigating the roads. I am bringing chains, toe rope, traction mat things and some other stuff. I’m still worried that we won’t be able to safe-ishly get to much of the accessible public. Anybody have any thoughts.

 

[Ryana]

Well I’m here. Forecast is 8 to 12 inches. On Tuesday. We’re Hunting a private ranch, 20,000 acres south of Kaycee. Should b interesting

 

[lcgordon711]

Good luck stay safe out there. We are driving up to Buffalo Tuesday. Should get interesting.

If in doubt, walk in. Antelope are small. Learn the gutless method and bring them out on your pack.
The mud/clay here is something to behold. Slicker than buttered snot and will leave you helpless if not prepared.

 

[lcgordon711]

Yeah kinda figured that. The public county rock/dirt roads or the two track trails? I am trying to figure out which roads are paved and which are rock. I already know that 2 tracks are out of the question and will be waking in a packing out. But it’s gonna be pretty tough to hike into more than 1 spot if we can’t even get off the highway.

The snow isn't going to be as much of a problem for getting around as it will be once it starts to melt off and get muddy. Then I'd stay off anything unless you enjoy a mud fest

 

[wapitibob]

If it's slick enough you can't get off the pavement, I doubt you'll be walking either. That mud will be 6" thick on the btm of your boots in 30 yards.

This will be you biggest issue...fill you tag before the snow melts...
