251 Antelope

[Nimrod]

My wife drew a rifle tag for this unit and I have a couple scouting trips planned but I wanted to know what I was in for. Anyone willing to share their experience? So far I've heard lots antelope but lots of hunters too. Is that accurate? If anybody has any pics of bucks taken from that unit or the terrain I would live to see them thanks.

My wife killed her first buck antelope last year in 251! We spotted this one the 1st morning we were there and was home in time for lunch. It was a fun hunt for sure. Didn't see another hunter or vehicle the day we were there.

Holy crap that thing looks huge! Well done! Did you have it scored. Looks 80+ for sure!

Here is my oldest daughter's from 2011. I filled my tag there in 2010. We will be back up there again this year as another one of my daughter's drew. We haven't seen very many hunters there either. I think only 21 tags were given out this year for this hunt.

That's an awesome photo! Can't wait until my daughter can hunt. Good looking goat! What gun do you have your daughters shooting?

They shoot either a 243 or a 7mm. This one was shot with a 243. Which part of the state are you coming to 251 from?

Question, is that far mountain range in pic of the AREA 51 (High Security or am I wrong and it is in the north above the extraterestial highway? Just wondering.

It was north. West of warm Springs and a few miles south of the highway.
