moving to wyoming
Hello to all who live in wyoming, I will be moving to rock springs area and was wondering what the hunting is like there? I have heard that antelope is pretty much a comman animal in that area. I have spent most of my life hunting in the oregon, and washington mountains and will have to adjust to the wyoming territory any suggestions?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Welcome to the west. I hope you like it as much as I do ( here in CO ). I just drew a RFW doe antelope tag so I hope to get lucky on one of them speedgoats in Sept.
Best wishes on a good move. Maybe we'll meet up one day.

Wellcome, Rock Springs is not what I would call the best part of Wyo. But,you don't have to drive far to get there. As for the antelope they may out number people in the state. If you get here by July 15th you may be able to buy a reduce price doe fawn tag over the counter. ($40.00) Deer #are down near the areas that they are drilling but theres still lots of places that hold good #. If your coming out for the energy boom sounds like you got work for the next 75 years.

Welcome to paradise! Well, at least its within driving distance. You'll enjoy antelope hunting. If you get away from the traffic, it can make for some great spot and stalk hunting. As stated deer numbers are down pretty much everywhere except the north east corner of the state.If your willing to drive a couple of hours you can get get into elk. There are some elk in the Red Dessert, but it is a draw only area. There are plenty of general hunt areas around the state.

I was out the other night, in the red desert area I guess,and saw a bunch of antelope. In one case we were looking at an antelope grazing across the horizon when three big bull elk come up from around the hill, the sun was setting behind themand it just made for a great site.
Thanks for all the welcomes.
