First family Antelope hunt in Wyoming, any tips?

[TalusHunterCA]

My first Antelope hunt with my young family three boys under age 5! I drew 1 buck Antelope and one doe. I also drew a couple Whitetailed Deer doe tags. I just want boys and wife to have a good time. We will stay in Rawlins and drive east to the hunt areas in unit. I think that I need to apply to an HMA next.

Due to work, we will likely either need to hunt around Oct. 5 (near beginning of season) or late, after Oct. 15.

Any tips? Which Motel to stay in Rawlins? We were looking at the Best Western or Hampton Inn or Holiday inn Express?

Or places to visit between Rawlins and Laramie that are fun, family friendly?

Please PM me if you prefer. Thank you so much.

Saratoga close to your area? Small town, hot spring soaking pool, hotels, restaurants and groceries.
Maybe a FS cabin close to your area in the Snowies.

Good ideas. My unit is just North of there, so I will look into it. Thank you!
