Nice animal. Public Land?
Yes, all 3 killed on public land DIY. We have been building preference points for a few years and applied through the "special" draw which basically doubles the cost of the tag but lowers the preference points required to draw a unit by 3-6 points. Looking at the draw results, we barely snuck into the unit that we were drawn for. It was a solid unit, not necessarily a "trophy" unit, but was a couple hundred thousand acres and ~95% public land so plenty of room to hunt and a target rich environment.
Someone earlier in the thread said this was probably his one and only antelope hunt since the style of hunting wasn't his preference. I'm the complete opposite - I've done the OTC Colorado archery elk hunt where we hiked in 5 miles and camped at 10,500 ft and hunted 5-10 miles from camp every day up to 12,000 ft. I'm built more for riding around in a truck on BLM roads while sipping coffee and listening to the radio while I glass a couple hundred antelope each day.

i need some insight on a deer unit if anyone is in a giving mood. I have 7 points. Trying to decide between a desert unit and something in the snowies.
No insight on deer but I have 1 pt so I'm down to apply as a group and average our points lol

Congratulations, what area did y’all hunt in? I have 6 points and looking for unit with good opportunities.

Everybody’s points are antelope? Anybody hunted elk on a general tag up there?

Send me an email at woodbirdtd@gmail sometime and I'll fill you in on what I figured out gearing up for/during my trip. With 6 points you should be able to have a sure enough trophy unt.

Very nice. What make and caliber rifle is that? Also, Where does one learn to start accumulating points? This is something I might be interested in doing in a few years.

You don’t need a lot of points for pronghorn

Will do! Appreciate it.

Well, you've pegged my interest. I wasn't really thinking about doing a pronghorn hunt but with elk hunting whipping my arse so bad, I might start planning to do this one year. Seems like I'd have a better chance of pulling it off. Unfortunately I'm getting down on elk hunting, starting to think maybe I just aint an elk hunter

Its well worth it
I was in a similar boat. Getting close to sealing the deal on elk but not getting there.
Do it, man

Way to go, lope hunters. WYO snow storm ain’t no joke.
Posted on 10/12/21 at 10:21 pm to 257WBY
Because everyone rushed to hunt before the snow moved in, we couldn’t get our goats into a processor.
BUT the city of Douglas, WY has a city park in which they allow hunters to camp, with a nice bathhouse, and a skinning rack!
We got them skinned, boned, and in the coolers.

You do if you want to get a southern/eastern unit and/or a unit with lots of accessible public land.
