Default RE: Wyoming Antelope

Hey Grasshopper, Wyoming speed goat hunting is my favorite! When I draw tags, I hunt over by Saratoga (didn' t draw this year)

When your looking for a good buck, look for the fork to be above the ears, thats a good buck. It' s always hard for me to hold off on shooting since you will be seeing so many bucks. Antelope hunting has always been 100% success for me, and all of the guys that I go with.

I never get too hard core into the camo gig when antelope hunting. I would say they are more senstive to movements. When stalking, if you stay low, move really slow and just try to keep out of sight as much as possible, you can get within range. Doesn' t work all of the time of course, but when you can stalk 3-6 times a day, it' s going to work eventually.

One piece of advise I will give you is to buy/bring knee pads, and I actaully buy the really cheap ones at a hardware store (black foam) and put them on my knees and elbows for crawling. Learned that one the hard way after my first day of trying to crawl over the rocks and cactus.

Weather can vary from shorts/tee shirt to really friggen cold and windy. But the end of Sept should be pretty nice, maybe even still on the warm side.

None of my shots have ever been over 250 yards, and most of them around 100. But that is more me not wanting to take a shot that I' m not so sure that I can do.

My only other advise that I can give you is to hold off on shooting the first day. You are going to be seeing lots of bucks, don' t feel like you have to shoot the first day. Your going to have a great time!
