Wyoming Antelope Unit 25

[elkla]

Hello, my sons and I plus a friend have drawn unit 25 in Wyoming Antelope as a second choice. Just wondering if anyone has any advice for that unit?
I have hunted out west for many years , elk and mule deer but first time in Wyoming for antelope.

Appreciate any and all information !

There are a bunch of tiny chunks of public that will usually hold antelope! Look for small sections of public in creek bottoms and you should find bucks!

Thanks 1shotgear !
Appreciate information.
Have to study up on the roads in that unit (what's public and private) and get an OnX map for Wyoming.
Read in previous post that we should contact BLM & Casper WGFD for road info.

Don’t go without some sort of land ownership / navigation software. Look up County GIS maps for what roads are public. Good luck

Thanks FLS ! Read something about GIS maps, is that something that is put on GPS ?

It’s a count map, or series of maps showing rads, land ownership, etc.

Mostly private, but there’s a 82” buck on my wall from that unit.

Call the Casper office and talk to the bios. Some nice guys there and worth calling way ahead of the season.

Did you get your Antelop?

I am not the OP, but we had a group of 5 hunt this unit this year. We killed 9 in the first two days. After that, it was hard to even spot an Antelope in Public. Lots of people and very little access to land. Lots of landlocked pieces that you could walk too, but that others with private access could drive to. Kind of a tough place to hunt, but we got it done quick. 4 Bucks and 5 Does. All the Bucks were 70” plus. It is doable, but there are better units out there.

Would you say Unit 34 or 38 are better?

I couldn’t say. I have only been once and it was to 25

Thanks. I'm looking to take my son out in 2 or 3 yrs and looking for a unit that doesn't take many points to get a tag and will atleast see some.

 

[browning2480]

Let me know if you settle on 25. I can give you some info via PM.

I know it's crowded, but I have heard some horror stories about hunters getting accidentally shot at, people racing them to bucks, etc. Did you experience any of this? I am planning a hunt in that unit this year.
