As a non-resident you will want to consult the non-resident draw probabilities for Wyoming pronghorn units. Some have very good odds -- 100% -- and some have very poor odds -- some less than 10%. I have hunted in unit 23 near Gillette and can tell you that the odds of drawing there are very high (100% in many recent years) and there are lots of pronghorns there -- although the horn size is not trophy sized, generally speaking. You will want to submit a party application. Read your instruction booklet to figure out how to submit this party application. Call the Buffalo office of the Wyoming Department of Fish and Game for landowners accepting trespass fees in the Gillette area and then call some of these landowners. Alternately, you can find public land and hunt on public land.

Hunting success is about 90% in Wyoming. You WILL take your pronghorns. Have a plan for taking care of the meat. Many people recommend field dressing immediately and getting the animal skinned, quartered, and on ice quickly.

If you hunt in an area with lots of pronghorns, such as unit 23 near Gillette, if you blow one stalk don't fret because you can locate another group of pronghorns immediately and start another stalk on them. Take binoculars to locate the pronghorns and identify an probable stalking approach. Use a rifle with a scope chambered in a flat shooting cartridge such as .243, .25-06, .270, .30-06, .300 Win mag, or any of a large number of other flat shooting cartridges. Pronghorn are not difficult to kill.

By the way, I have noticed that they sometimes stand still after you shoot them and don't fall to the ground for maybe 10 to 15 seconds, though they are fatally hit. You can unnecessarily pour additional bullets into them, spoiling meat unnecessarily, in this case. If you have reason to believe you made a good shot you might give the animal about 20 seconds to fall down before shooting a second time. Others may feel this advice is poorly thought out, so consider other opinions on this. It is hard to be patient and wait on them in this case -- those 20 seconds seem to drag on forever!!!
