In for Wyoming Antelope unit 88 - feedback needed

[270quest]

I decided to cash in my points and this tag should be a 100 percent for me this year. I am coming from Boise and wanted to try to stay on the western part of the state.

Any tips, recommendations for hunting, camping areas, towns, ect. for this unit? I am not looking for booner buck, just a good mature mid 70's goat would be fine. Like to see a bunch of antelope as I will bring my 10 year old son along and would like him to witness a bunch of animals.

The maps I have looked at show a good mix maybe 50% - of public land. Any issues on access or even any general areas to check out? Any willing landowners to allow access?

Appreciate any help. I am going DIY on this hunt. I hunted a couple years ago near Casper with SNS outfitters and it was a good hunt, but I just can't get use to hunting with a guide - need to do it on my own.

Thanks
Adam

That is actually kind of a tough hunt without access to private. They get bumped from the blm right off the bat so go opening day

What other units should I look at? I just want a decent unit to hunt in central/western wyoming that has good public land and some decent goats. Maybe 89, try for 93 or 90?

I have 3 points, but paid for the special tag and a bonus point so I guess going in I will have 4 points and the special draw?

I logged into the fish and game website and it will allow me to change my unit - just need to know which one?

Thanks

You don't get a point until after the drawing if your unsuccessful. You better check how many points you currently have that is the number you enter the draw with

I used to hunt 90 alot but its gone down hill quite a bit, tons of country and plenty of goats though.
89 is good too, way more blm and animals than 88 for sure

I appreciate all the advise. I switched my application to unit 90. I may not draw it this year with 3 points in the special but I will take my chances as it seems to be a better unit as far as animals and access.
