    WY antelope seasons, MRS vs. WGFD tentatives; When are dates finalized by WGFD?

    I realize that both Eastman's MRS and WGFD dates shown as "tentative". When are they made final and posted on WGFD? Before the May 31 application deadline I assume. Specifically have the seasons been pushed later by a week in 63 and 62 compared to "normal" ? Eastman's MRS shows starting of...

    CO elk Preference Point, the "10 year requirement"?

    CO preference points?My search of this forum for an answer came up empty, but I bet it is here somewhere. The CO wording on preference points includes this statement: ?If you do not apply or hold a license for that species at least once within 10 consecutive years for a bear, elk, deer or...

    Antelope draw 2017 PP Special vs. RegularP

    I thought I understood the advantage of Special PP vs. Regular PP draw odds....Eastman's says Special worth 1-2 point advantage; well, not always I guess. We always applied using Special assuming that was gospel, and it seemed to hold in previous years. This real example shows Regular had...

    unit 69 for antelope

    We have hunted 63 one year (2011 first year we hunted antelope at all) so am familiar with that area. Any ideas why unit 69, which is across the road, is not rated better in MRS? Not even deserving a "marginal" rating most years. Is it surrounded by a high fence, or what. Because of its...

    Wyo. Unit 63, way different that we thought

    First post. Went to Wyoming Sept. 2011. First non-guided antelope hunt ever. Three of us "Iowans" had 2 points, paid for special draw, and drew 63 after much research. Hunted first 3 days of season. mid Sept. Do not take this wrong - we had a great time, we all got buck antelope (small to...
