Good morning folks,
I know most of y'all are likely gearing up for or are already after filling your tags for antelope out there, but if anyone has the time or experience to hook me up with some knowledge, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Has anyone hunted zone 21? For a zone that is comparatively easy to draw, it looks like it has a good amount of public land, both state and BLM (2018 season in mind). Any accounts of that area would be awesome!
Thanks!

Most say access is not good. Word is antelope ground is mostly private and public is not good habitat for antelope. I will be able to tell you after a few weeks. I am headed out for the October 15th opener. I can tell you several of the major roads are private used for energy and mineral access. I am not afraid to walk so I hope to have a good hunt.

I enjoyed it. Lot of antelope in the area. The antelope do tend to know where the private land is to avoid the hunters. Driving down the roads you will see antelope right by the road on private and you almost see a void of antelope on the public. If you get out and walk and glass you can find them on public. They will not be right on the road but if willing to work hard and put some miles on your boots it is doable. I walked a total of 43 miles on my hunt.
