RE: DIY archery pronghorn?
Rory,
I have been getting more serious about Western hunting lately and the most valuable thing I have gotten was Eastmans Bowhunting Journal. The MRS section (only for subscribers)has so much cool info I couldn't have dug up with months of net surfing. Apparently the time to Go Antelope hunting is now! Great populations and easy to draw for a good DIY hunt mostly in Wy.

Rory - Lets do it together in 2010. I was going to take the wife on a Yellowstone and then Pronghorn hunt in Wyoming in 2009 but she's scared to do a DIY hunt....don't ask me why...In addition this is our 5 year anniversary so I may take her to Aruba where we went on our honeymoon....
We should keep in touch...I'm really looking for someone to do a 500 dollar antelope hunt with....I just don't see a point in paying 1800 on an animal that lingers numerously throughout the land....Bought a GPS today at Gander Mountain.....you know what...screw it...I can go in 2009 ...I have the vacation..
All my buddies are whipped...they won't go...and my uncles have killed antelope...

If your looking for that far down the road, you may want to think about buying some pref. points for WY starting now... You should be able to draw a great unit with a couple of pref. points....

add me to this party! archery pronghorn, I've taken with a rifle, and will continue to hunt them, though would like to take one with a bow in the next few years. I think colorado archery tags are 100% draw or OTC. Sure there are plenty of opportunities for achery pronghorn. Message me...

Look at South Dakota as well. Tags are unlimited for archery and there aren't units west of the Mo river. There is a ton of public land access and most all of it has goats. You are archery hunting you won't see another hunter.
