    OnX question, Walk in areas

    On my recent hunt, I used OnX to navigate public land. I loaded an offline map that captured my entire hunt area. It was only when I got out there that I realized I wasn't seeing the Walk In Areas on my phone. Back at the computer now and see the WIAs just fine, but not on my phone. Is there...

    Roads and access questions

    Need somebody to dumb down this issue for me a little. In trying to scout via OnX or HuntStand, etc. it's easy to see where the public land is. However, often times you have to turn off the highway onto a smaller road that crosses through private to get to the public. Trying to figure out...

    When are tags mailed?

    Been a while since I've done this. Want to make sure I'm not behind or missed my antelope tag in the mail. When do they normally go out?

    Antelope 32, 73, 81, 87?

    Considering Antelope Areas 32, 73, 81, 87. Anybody have first hand experience (good or bad) with these? Feel free to PM if preferred. Lodging access is a consideration as camping with my dad is probably not an option.

    BLM map question

    So, the BLM's website used to have hunt area maps that also showed color-coded public land coverage. BLM land was yellow, Forest Service was light green, etc. Now, when I pull up, for example, the WY antelope hunt area map on the BLM's site, it doesn't show the public lands coverage like it...

    Antelope 50-1

    Anybody hunted antelope in area 50, type 1? If so, how did it go? Doable as a DIY on public or not enough access?

    Hunting antelope without burning points

    So...I'm looking into options for hunting buck antelope DIY while continuing to build preference points. I'm nonresident and have hunted WY before. Am I correct in thinking the only way to do this is to draw on a 2nd choice (or lower) in the random draw? My thought is that I should consider...

    reattaching antelope horns

    I've read on here somewhere to use Bondo to reattach antelope horn sheaths to the skull. Can't find the thread now. Is there a particular type of Bondo to use, or a technique? Also, my horn sheaths smell (inside and out). What's a good way to get rid of that smell?

    Casper taxidermists and processors

    Any recommendations for processors and/or taxidermists in the Casper area for antelope? Not assuming I'll need a taxidermist, but you never know. Thanks

    2.25 antelope points and willing to go "special"

    My party has 2.25 PP and we want to hunt 2015. I decided to look into what would open up for us if we went "special". Looked at the public land coverage for the whole state and compared it to draw odds. Looks like the following areas that appear to have decent BLM acreage were drawn 100% in...

    Preference point question

    I basically understand how Wyoming's PP system works but have a question. Here's my situation. Party of 4. I have 2PP and rest of my party has 1. So our party has 1.25 points, which puts us in the <2 category. My question is: are applicants drawn from highest to lowest, even within a...

    The Inn at Alcova (Sloanes Gen. Store)

    Anybody stayed in one of their cabins? Hoping to hunt Antelope 48 next fall and looking into lodging. Considering: The Inn at Alcova's cabins, Elk Mountain Cabins, and The Virginian Hotel. Have I missed any better options for 48?

    Deer Region D?

    I will be hunting antelope in 48 next fall (hopefully) and I've started thinking about deer in that area too, which I think is Region D. I'm not so much thinking about a combo hunt next year, but was thinking that since I'll be familiarizing myself with that area, I might as well be keeping my...

    Virginian Hotel, Medicine Bow

    Looking into places to stay for 2014 Antelope hunt, area 48. Some of the reviews talk about loud trains running all night long at the Virginian. Any of you have an opinion? Maybe they have some rooms that are less exposed to the trains? Or do any of you have other ideas for where to stay...

    PP for youth?

    Am I correct in thinking that you may not buy a PP for someone under the age of 12 in WY? For example, a 2 year old?

    WY 'lope conundrum

    Here's my problem. I currently have 1 PP for pronghorn in WY and hope to hunt 47 or similar unit when I have 2 or 3 PPs. I want to hunt with my brother and father, both of whom are only interested in does and have no PP. When I hatched this plan, I was making the incorrect assumption that...

    Rate the State

    Wondering if you all would be willing to rate western states for mule deer, elk and pronghorn, considering my folowing objectives: 1. Willing to wait a few years between tags (so don't rate a state highly just because they have OTC tags, for example). 2. DIY hunting. 3. Looking for...
