Kids first hunt... CO or WY

[Jarrod Renaud]

Hey guys,

I've only hunted deer and elk my entire life and now my daughter is turning 12 and is wanting to finally carry a tag. I'm a noob when it comes to antelope but figured it'd be a good first hunt for her. Although we'll also put in for a Mule Deer tag since CO has the extended youth season, which is awesome.

Any recommendations on a CO GMU for youth that hold some doe Antelope? No PP obviously or would it just be better to go for a non-resident WY doe/fawn tag? From my research it seems CO areas that hold good numbers require PPs.

Thanks guys!

You may draw up to 4 doe tags between the two of you in Wyoming. If you come out in Sept perhaps maybe get in a sage grouse hunt too.
Since doe tags are random draw I would put in for a great area for access and good doe tag numbers and go for it. Fishing in fall also means spawning trout . Might find some doe deer tags for the same general area or close by too.

Awesome, thanks! Was hoping someone from WY would chime in. Didn't realize we could get multiple doe tags, that'd be great. Definitely the route we'll go.

It is also possible to pick up 2 extra doe tags in the leftovers, for a total of 4 tags.
Good luck and bring that fishing rod when you come out.

Heck yah, will do. Got my pops on board to go with us too. Can't wait now... think this will become a new tradition.
