Trying Wyoming Antelope First Time

[mcdbrog]

I tool my son in 2022 and we both got nice publicland bucks. We walked a few miles in on public to get away from people for both but seen plenty near the roads. I picked a unit that looked like there was accto a large chi k of public on OnX and after I drew the tags I called the county road department or something like that and found out tje public road ended before you could get to the public. Still had a great time though. And hopefully going again in a couple years.

My family and friends find antelope to be pretty decent eating as long as it’s taken care of properly.

Never had a bad one, regardless of where shot.

Same. We've shot plenty no where near ag land, and some on ag land. All taken care of properly and fast. All excellent. One of our fav wild game meats.

This actually touches on something pretty important that I’ve not seen mentioned in this thread yet. There are LOTS of parcels of public land in Wyoming that appear to be accessible from a road, but then upon further investigation, or getting boots on the ground, one may find that it’s landlocked and inaccessible for the public. Research is absolutely your friend in this situation.

Google Earth and Onx Hunt help a lot. Some counties have excellent road maps, some don't have anything worthwhile. Zoom in with Onx and you can see the property lines and know if the road is public.

I have taken 3 pronghorns, no ag near any of them. All superb eating. Just have to get them dressed and on ice fast.
