Wyoming Antelope Gear

[14jhudson]

Couple questions about antelope gear recommendations for Wyoming:

What’s the realistic range to shoot? I’m from KY, so farthest shot I would ever take on deer would be 200 and that would be across the entire fields I hunt.

What caliber would you recommend to shoot? I have a 30-06, 243, and a 300 win mag. I assume the 30-06 and 300 would be overkill, but this will be the first year I’m preparing to hunt western.

Also any scope recommendations for the 300 win mag would be great. Just won the gun in a raffle and need to get a scope for it.

I’m far from an Antelope expert but this is my experience over the years.

Any of those calibers will work. Pick the one you shoot the best.

I would get comfortable to 300-400 yards if possible. I’ve never shot one that far, but 150-300 yards is going to be realistic.

The farther you are comfortable shooting the more opportunities you may have. However, if you are patient its not too hard to get within 300 yards most of the time. Take the rifle you shoot the best. The last 5 my wife and I killed were 100, 200, 100, 250, 300 yards.
