Wyoming Antelope Hunt
Any Wyoming residents out there who can tell me about a good bit of public land for an antelope hunt this fall? I live in Northern Colorado and have applied for a pronghorn tag for 8 years and not drawn one. The Wyoming Fish and Game web site shows a non-res antelope doe tag can be had over the counter for $34, well worth the short trip up I-25 across the border. I was looking at Thunder Basin National Grassland, about a half million acres of what looks like prime habitat, but I could sure use some input from someone in the know. Any ideas?

pretty much anywhere depending
Start here - take some time with this map and get used to the clickable options. Lots of good info there.

Thanks for the link. I'm heading out west for my 4th antelope hunt this fall and while we plan on hunting the same area that we always do, that map is a outstanding.

Check out area 7, near Newcastle. Lots of governement land AND private "walk in areas"
Contact the Wyoming Fish and Game Web site and have them send you the walk in area maps. If you deside to go to that area ("7") pm me and I'll give you a good location (grid cord and or GPS).

There always seems to be left over doe and fawn permits for area 38 north west of Cheyenne, if you decide on that area PM me and I will see if I can get you on some places I know.

Thanks for the tips guys. RW, I am interested in looking at the area northwest of Cheyenne and may be in touch after I get a little more research done. On one of my weekdays off in the near future I plan on a trip up to the Fish and Wildlife office in Cheyenne to collect maps, applications, and whatever info I can mine from the heads of the people there. I have a friend that I hunt deer and elk with every year that is interested in joining me on an atelope hunt and since he is retired, he has the time.

kraigwy is right about the NewCastle area, hunted areas 7 & 8 for about 10 years straight. Very good advice.
