If it’s anything like pronghorn it might take you a while to draw a tag in a good unit.

Got a tag, just have never hunted Wy , kinda thought I might just pay a trespass fee on a ranch.

And how difficult was it to acquire that tag ?is there a lottery or did you get over counter tags ? Do they have specific units you are assigned to? I am interested in going out soon as I figure out some details and pin point some good diy public land out there to get goin.

What unit did you draw?

Or you can draw a tag in a not so amazing unit every year while building points. You can hunt and harvest antelope every year in Wyoming.

It is not difficult at all with a general tag. It will take you about 2 points now to draw a general tag

Huntetthere twice, if you don’t get off the road your fighting crowds. Your best bet is to get a semi guided hunt. We had someone take us back about 23 miles from a road and drop us. Came bac a week later to pick us up and use horses to get the elk out. 1st time very successful with three of us all having shots and two killed. Second time nothing at all. It’s kind of hit and miss.

I think this is your best best. Depending on when you go, once they get pressured they seem to take shelter on private lands. In CO, I would hunt the edge of private land. Saw lots of elk and I didn't have to go way back. 2 miles off the trail. I have the Garmin Rino with the hunting map. Shows private land borders.
