WY unit 63 goat

[tracker12]

Numbers sure seem down from what I remember the last time I hunted the unit but still plenty to pick thru. Used an ancient Pre 64 MDL 70 Featherweight and vintage Weatherby scope chambered in 243. After a nice stalk I was able to get 345 yards and make the shot. 95 grain Berger VLD did its job.

Love that gun! Had. 270 standard weight pre-64 growing up. Can’t find a better action out there IMO.

Just pulled tag for this unit...never been speed goat hunting. Any Advice relative to this unit?..besides don't shoot one first 10 minutes.

We hunted it in 2018, which was my first time antelope hunting. I know things have changed somewhat with numbers in that unit, but we found the info on the wy game and fish website to be accurate and plenty specific to have a great hunt without any major surprises, even with us showing up blind and clueless. Not to be un-helpful, but I really don't think it's the type of place where any new info will change much of anything for you or tell you anything that a couple hours drive through the unit wont reveal. It's a pretty place with the reservoir and the river there, we had a fun hunt--you should be psyched. Biggest piece of advice is don't forget your fishing gear, that is one awesome stretch of river through that whole region.
