Filled out my application for Wyoming antelope hunt today. Now I have to wait until July to see if I draw.

CVC, I hope you draw again this year. Have you looked up your odds?

I'm still undecided on what to apply for this year on antelope.....I'm thinking area...57, 60, 61....etc .... ::-k

That is a convenient site. I did look at the odds of the WY game and fish site and it is almost 98% for Area 52/2

CVC - Do you go on a guided hunt, public land, or do you have a connection out there?
Sounds like fun :thumbsup1:

Unguided on BLM land. I went with two other guys last year. One guy had been there before and the other two had not hunted antelope before.

I paired up with one of the guys that hadn't been before and we just sort of figured it out. I had watched alot of antelope hunts on tv so I had an idea of what to do.

It was a blast and I hope I draw again. My goat isn't a "book" goat, but it sure was satisfying to hunt on public land without a guide, spot, stalk and take an antelope. Truly one of the best hunts of my life.

I may have to look into a hunt like that :yes:

Redrider, You need to......Draw deadline is 3/15 so hurry!

[CVC]

The application fee is $238, $268 with preference point. You have to get the application in by 3/15, not postmarked, but received by that date.

A little gas money, a little food money and motel is all you need and it is a relatively inexpensive hunt.

[redrider]

Can you get just the pref. point and when would a deadline be for that?

[Hiker]

Redrider, If all you want to do is to purchase a $30 PP for antelope, you can do that between June-September. It might be July-September.

we are planning a wyoming antelope hunt and are planning on going on our own. Could you recommend what area would be best to try to draw a tag for success in drawing and a successful hunt. I have never hunted in wyoming and just wanted some information. I have looked at the wyoming hunting guide. I was told that the north east or eastern part of the state is the best. Do you have any recommendations as to zones? Thanks.

Go to this site http://gf.state.wy.us/wildlife...../index.asp and look at the drawing odds for each area. Also, consider that some areas have limited public access.

Lot's of antelope in Wy. i've hunted 47 & 71. Both are near Casper & if you're planning to stay in a motel, better make your reservations as soon as you draw a tag. Antelope hunting is a lot of fun, be prepared for lot's of walking.
