    Wyoming antelope

    I spoke with the biologist of the unit I hunted in last year, he stated that the unit I hunted was the only one out of 5 that he oversees that was not really affected by the winter, and in fact had a better buck/doe ratio in 2023. However the surrounding units he managed were the exact opposite...

    Wyoming antelope

    I would say you could find yourself a good hunt with 5 points (in the special), slim pickings on the regular but doable. Good advice given already. I burned 5 on a special tag last year and had a blast, saw Ok numbers and was playing cat and mouse with two booners. Couldn't close the deal and...

    Toprut statistics update??

    It sounds like Toprut is getting bought out by On X, with On X attempting to build a platform to compete with Gohunt. I like comparing multiple platforms. I compare Hunting fool vs. Go Hunt vs. Eastman's (and read between the lines on certain units). Actually not all agree with units, and they...

    What rifle Calibers have you used?

    30.06 (7) 6.5 Creed (3) For many years I used a 30.06 (Rugger M77), old reliable, but lately its been the 6.5 Creed. Thinking of bringing back the 30.06 to life an adding a piticcanny rail and adding a good scope with a turret. I love the simplicity of the 6.5 but miss the knockdown power the...

    6.5 creedmore vs 6.5 PRC for Mule deer

    I would say that if you only could afford to own one rifle and you would never hunt elk, than the 6.5 Creedmoor would be plenty for most medium range applications at deer. BUT if you think you may ever go medium to long ranger on deer or ever take a long poke at an Elk, than the PRC all the way...

    Wyoming draw?

    I drew a Non resident Antelope tag with 5 points a unit that took 4 last year. I may have gotten lucky as the odds were pretty low with the other 5 point applicants. I am just excited, haven't been back in that beautiful state in so long. The unit is near a couple of small towns with great...

    Wyoming draw?

    Good luck to everyone that put in. I didn't draw in NV, CO or Utah, so I decided to try to burn my 5 antelope points on a unit that did not get tags cut. The price increase for special is too much for me next year, I hope I draw or I will have to wait 4 more years to draw on the regular. I am...

    Neveda results in 7 days!

    Good luck everyone, would agree I love that Nevada is so quick to post results. Once Nevada and Colorado post I will know what to do with Wyoming and Idaho. Waiting is so hard! Hoping someday my 20 Elk points in NV will get me tag.

    Winter Conditions so far…

    I hope they cut tags if it seems like another repeat of 16-17" winter. Herds will need a break. Big winters always mess me up, I was about dump my deer points this year.. Looks like I will have to hold off for who knows when.. It did take more than a couple of years for deer to bounce back from...

    Good Bino Chest Pack w/ room for Phone?

    Hey guys, What is a good Bino Chest pack setup that you can add a pouch to carry your cell phone? I run Viper 12X50s, but also have an iPhone 12 pro-max with the Phone skope case. Several times I have dropped my phone and carrying it in my pants pocket is not all that great? Just curious what...

    Utah Muzzy tag for next fall?

    txhunter58, did you end up drawing the UT Elk tag? I am in a similar boat, drew a UT muzzy antelope tag. Now I am figuring out the scope setup for my omega. I am thinking of taking the 3-9x 40mm leupold scope from my 30.06 and putting it on my omega. also adding a leupold quick release base...

    Question on preference points

    Thanks for clarifying. What a bummer (why the change?). I am going to have to change some major plans and see if my wife allows me to spend a little more money in tags than I had originally anticipated this year.

    Question on preference points

    With the new MT rule changes for 2022. I am a little confused. I have two preference point going into this year (I did not apply for a combo tag last year), if I don't actually apply for a combo tag this year, would I lose all my points? I was trying to hold off to hunt next year in 2023 ( I...

    Antelope

    I had a great antelope hunt in unit 64 in 2017 (we saw like 15 bucks for every mile we drove), but there is so many good units units in WY. Just remember that points don't equate to big bucks necessary. I heard some die offs have happened since I was there. Hope you pick a unit and have a blast...

    NDOW Updated Website

    I emailed them about the website with complaints. They said they are open to feedback. I agree (if it ain't broke, why fix). I really believe that the people behind the new website are not users of the website (definitely not hunters). I have no idea how they came up with it, it is so...

    Omega sight setup

    That is a good article from go hunt; my fear is that the Omega uses an 8x40 thread screw for the front sight, and most other front sights/ramps use 6x48 thread only. So not sure what the workaround is without getting a new hole drilled. Maybe I am overthinking it?

    Omega sight setup

    Bwht4X4, That is a pretty nice set up, could you share some of the specs on the front sight, I am looking to do the same on my Omega, but unsure on which dovetail/marble front sight (or similar), would fit an Omega best and Lyman Glove?? I am using a E. Arthur Brown Company, Inc. PeepRib Peep...

    Area 54 Archery Unlimited -- DEER

    I was able to scout the unit prior to opener (saw some good bulls, and a few small bucks), unfortunately the fire broke out the same week I was planning to go. With the area I had been eyeing behind the closure I did not end up going. A friend that was there said it was tough to do any spotting...

    Antelope pictures

    All great goat pictures. Here is one of mine from a few years back from NV, 17 inch horns (81 gross, 78 net), whacky crooked horns, but great character, just missing some mass.

    Colorado point creep

    2nd season w/ 10+ points for me as well. Yeah the odds will be whacky for sure.

    68 third vs 66 second

    Good luck deciding. I would think that his year is not a year not to put in hoping to get a tag by the skin of you teeth. You'll be sweating it until results come out. Anyone's guess what he odds will be, more jump on 3rd season hunts likely (aim not an expert). would think premium units...

    66 2nd

    I hear you, I am with 14 non resi points and thinking hard of 2nd season as well; the units I want will be not drawn by me if there is significant point creep on 3rd season tags, so 2nd season my be it for me as well. Point creep will be unreal for sure his year (even in 2nd tags). Guys thinking...

    Colorado Units 66 v 67 (2nd season deer)

    Many people are considering burning double digit NR points in 2ns season Gunnison units (me included). Roll the dice 66, but may not be enough. I think many people will be disappointed and not draw tags they think they could get with last years points. I have well over enough for a 3rd season...

    Hornady ELDX

    Killed my antelope buck at 405ish yards this year with 143 grain ELDX shooting 6.5 creed, hit him high in the spine, blew a hole the size of a basketball in the far side. Downed him, but still had to finish him off. There where bullet fragments everywhere. I was hoping for it to hold up a little...

    Unit 55 3rd season

    Congrats on a great buck! Would you recommend the unit as a decent 2nd season option? as far as access, enjoyable hunt (possibility of 160 bucks)? One of the units I am considering for my 70 y/o dad next year. Just want him to shoot 140-160 type deer.

    Is 87 really all gloom and doom?

    Sent you a PM Jims.

    Is 87 really all gloom and doom?

    With 14 points going into next year would 87 be worth cashing in on points? Say if expectation is 160-170? I haven't shot a decent 150+ buck in 10 years (have been a meat hunter mostly), and a antelope hunting addict. Was debating unit 90, but if its only 3 points to be had, may be sitting on...

    Unit 3 Rifle Antelope question.

    First time hunting CO for lopes in this unit, was shocked at the amount of trucks going up and down every county road we pulled over to glass from. So many that we started counting, 47 different rigs in AM of day one and 36 different rigs in the PM of that same day, progressively lower after...

    Unit 3 Rifle Antelope question.

    I am wont be scouting before the hunt (did DM with a few folks in here that gave some kind advice); Still debating camping in Maybell, but i hear that campground gets pretty packed. We will likely be camping out wherever we end up as long as the weather permits. Our trophy expectation is very...
