Default RE: Wyoming's Antelope

I grew up my entire life in Wyoming, now live in Utah, but still go back to hunt with my family. We used to joke around that hunting rabbits was harder than antelope! I think you could easily take one with a bow. The best bow tactics I've used out here (because it's flat and rolling sage brush) is to sit on water holes.

The beauty of Wyoming is you can hunt both weapons (if you have the time). You can even arrange it to piggy back your time out here to piggy back the hunts -- end of archery, next day, pack a rifle. That way if you don't have success with the bow, you just shoot one the next day!

With a little bit of time you can easily take a good 14-15 inch buck and might even bump into a bigger one. They are very fun to hunt.

If you ever look into SW Wyoming, email me. I know of many awesome units that produce some of the biggest bucks in the state, plenty of public land and places to go.

P.S. forget a guide and/or Doug Miller (utah guy, who is lucky enough to have a job hunting/fishing for a living and it gets put on as news)
