Default RE: Wyoming Antelope hunt

Max -Ihave hunted antelope in WY, close to Douglas a couple of times and shot 2 - one at 300 and one at 400 yds. One bit of advice that I wish I had the first time was not to drag an antelope that you are considering having mounted. Always carry it. The hair pulls out of the hide easily and I pretty well skinned the left side of mine dragging it....just FYI - I was able to purchase a cape from the meat processor for $30 and I was back in business with my horns. I agree with all of the info above - use the wind, naturalcoverand stay low - they have great vision - and they will make a kind of barking noise at you if the wind is not in their favor and they see you - it must be an alert to others of some sort (don't know for sure). It is a fun hunt - good luck - you will likely run into them before you know it - look for the white patches in the fields.
