What I'm looking for isa place well known for harvesting big goats. For example, West Central IL and Southeast Kansas are known for big whitetails, Utah is known for huge elk, Arkansas and theDeltais known for ducks, and Central South Dakota is known for pheasants. Is there anywhere that really stands out for Antelope?
I'm not familiar with the drawing process, but would I have a better chance of harvesting a big goat that way? Or would I be better off trying to find a landowner that will give me one of their tags? Or do landowners ever get tags? We went on a NW New Mexico elk hunt the past 3 years where were guaranteed a landowners tag.
I'd really like to swap a hunt, but will also be happy to find an outfitter. I just want to make sure I'm in an area that is gonna give me the best oppurtunity.
Thanks for your help!

I guess it would be useful for you to define what you mean by "good" or "top" spots. If you mean spots where you have the best probability of bagging large horns, you are likely to find that others have already discovered this spot before you and are already standing in line to draw a limited entry permit to hunt this area, probably having already accumulated several years worth of preference points. If you mean a place where you can draw this year and have a good chance to taking a pronghorn, eastern Wyoming, particularly Area 23, is a high draw success area with lots of pronghorns.
