Default RE: Wyoming Antelope hunt

Great advice! Be patient and humor the drive and shoot guys. If you get off the beaten path and glass, you'll find goats. They are much easier to spot than mulies. Take gotlost's advice on meat care.With one exception, we've always had our meat in the freezer the day they are shot. The one exception was when we had to stay in the field an extra day. We skinned, quartered, and packed them in coolers with ice (make sure the coolers can drain). I've fed antelope steaks/roasts to avowed antelope meat haters who thought they were eating deer. If your thinking of a mount, have a taxidermist lined up before the hunt and spend some time talking abouthow he/she would like it skinned/cared for until you get the cape there. They do make a beautiful european mount if the budget is tight. Enjoy the hunt, antelope are a blast!! Can't believe we didn't get drawn this year!
