Wyoming Antelope Help!

Guys,
I have spent countless hours in front of OnXmaps and GoHunt over the past 6 months trying to figure out how to attempt this hunt. I am from Ohio and I am trying to take my father who has only hunted in the east on his first antelope hunt this year. I have over 500 acres in eastern Ohio (and a cabin to stay in) with a very good quality of whitetail deer. I would be interested in trading a week at my farm with free stay etc for some help in trying to have a successful antelope hunt this fall. Thanks for the help!

Check out toprut.com too. It's an easy way to see the draw odds. Be careful if applying for units marked as difficult access.

You can have a good hunt in about any unit in Wyoming. As long as you can shoot straight, you will tag out within a day or two in about any unit. The more public land in the unit the better your hunting experience will be. Hunting pronghorn is total different than Ohio Whitetail. You need to cover a lot of country to be successful. Sitting and waiting like you would for Eastern Whitetail could work but you are better off driving a lot of roads (or walking areas roads don't offer good visbility), spotting pronghorn from long distances and then trying to get close enough for a shot.
good luck

Thanks guys

nbardall,
If you have not been accumulating bonus points for antelope then your draw odds are more limited to areas in eastern Wyoming that hold lots of private land. You may try checking with a conservation officer in those areas to get a list of landowners. Some can offer reasonable access for a fee, but I have not gone that route for a long time, so who knows what goes now days.
If you are trying to do a DIY hunt then you may need to accumulate points for a few years before you have enough to draw a unit with better public land access.
As has been mentioned, once you get in a good public assess unit you just have to drive and search with high powered glass to find antelope. Most antelope shots can be long and so practicing out to 300 yards and beyond are also recommended preparations. Having a spotting scope is also a must if you are looking for horn quality. If you do get into a unit with good public land I'd recommend not shooting the first buck you see. My first several antelope hunts ended way quicker than they needed to and I would have enjoyed it much more if I would have passed several bucks before punching my tag.

I wish I had a ranch to trade a good whitey hunt, but I don't. None-the-less, I'm sure if you keep searching you will find what you are looking for.

Best of luck. Hunting pronghorns can be a blast.

I would be glad to help you any way I can related to Wyoming antelope hunting-- I have many years experience hunting different units in Wyoming, antelope are my favorite game.
Question: Do you gave any Preference Points already from previous years built up ? Antelope hunting is lots of fun & the weather usually good. Finding the right unit for you to apply for is critical & then getting your applications in via internet application before 5/31-- so you've got time to iron out the choices & units. I've lived in Cheyenne last 10 years, but recently moved to Ft Collins, Colorado, only 45 miles away because of my new wife, but since 1978 I've hunted lots of different units in Wyoming.
