Antelope in Unit 114

[Topgun 30-06]

Hey Mike, how's the moisture situation looking up in your area? I was surprised to hear you say you go way down past Riverton for goats. Is the population not very good up in the Basin area on west up where you're at?

antelope hunting does not and never has been great till you got south of shoshoni. thats where the big boys and large herds are

Has your experience been in 114?

No, I was talking about Wyoming ranchers in general. The license plate on the truck is what they look at first, then they USUALLY expect some money. Not all do, but one such rancher told me that If a guy can afford to take an out-of-state hunting trip they can also afford a "Trespass Fee". That fee is usually based on weather or not the critter has any headgear. That's what I've experienced.

Another reason to drive an old truck so you look broke and dont get charged so much. As long as the plate aint from california its not to bad. lol. I dont mind paying $100 to anyone that lets me shoot anything on their ranch. They have to feed the animal and they are letting you use their property and its definitively worth something!

My dad got this buck in 114 yesterday. The trespass fee was only $50 so he was pretty happy.

***Geez, I thought earlier you said all you had to do was go into 114 and they'd let you hunt for free!!! $50 is definltely a good price out there to get on property for a buck!

 

[Elkoholic307]

Okay, joke is over now. I used trickery and deceit to make my point. I was hoping you would call me out

This buck, along with many others cost $0.00

 

[Topgun 30-06]

Yea, right, LOL! What point did you make other than you're full of bull?!

 

[Elkoholic307]

My original point:

The antelope are not hard to find and you won't have to pay a fee or anything like that. Farmers are begging people to come thin them out.

My first Goat shot on opening morning in 114. First Antelope hunt ever. I saw bigger goats than this one and if given more time, would have waited for something a bit taller. As it was, this guy still comes in a shade over 70" gross P&Y. Lots of mass and decent cutters helped out. Couldn't be more pleased. Public ground.

Congratulations, that looks like a good one, especially for a first. You should be proud.

Congrats, I love hunting antelope in Wyoming. It is a fun relaxing laid-back hunt.

Hey Elkoholic can you hook me up if I come out to 114? Nice buck! Tell your Dad congrats. I'd like to try the early season rifle one day.
