I was wondering if any of y'all have hunted antelope in unit 20? If so is it a good choice for a draw? Just looking to take one with my bow. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I prefer to be PM'd about the subject. Thanks
My wife's aunt owns 20 square miles in this unit so I am going to give it a try this year because tags are really easy to get. She has quite a few antelope on her property that stay year round and they haven't been hunted in 3 years so I have high hopes it will be good. I asked her about the surrounding areas and she said that a lot of it is private land and some chunks of the public land is tied up behind private. All the ranches around her sell hunts so I would suggest finding a ranch to get trespass permission on and you should do well. Since I haven't hunted out there yet I don't know the ins and outs but just looking at how easy it is to get tags, I would say its mostly private land owners and not easy to do a DIY public hunt. Hopefully someone else will chime in for you.
Very cool. Congrats on your success! My brother and I hunted unit 8 this year and were able to shoot a couple goats. It was our first time in Wyoming. The goats were nothing special, just average goats, but we had a lot of fun. We are both high school teachers from Iowa and a couple law abiding, land respecting sportsman. We chase a lot of whitetail and pheasant in Iowa while catching a lot of walleye. I am new to the forums and it says I can’t PM you until I’ve reached so many posts or else I would PM you. Do you think your aunt would be open to letting a couple teachers from Iowa pay her a tresspass fee to access her land? If not, I understand. Congrats again on your success!Yes we were successful. Came home with 3 nice goats. There were hundreds of antelope on her property....most of the property around her place sell hunts and there is a small portion of public land near the ranch. As soon as the first gun went off they came poring in. I hate to say it but it was a tuff hunt because of all the eyes on you. Nothin too big, saw a couple that were probably in the 70s but as we were just visiting the family we just took some decently nice ones. I didn't expect to shoot a booner, just thankful to get to visit a place like that. Had a blast and hope to get to go back.
