Left Over Antelope Tags 2014

[roknHS]

This is a shot in the dark. Did anyone print the list of left over tags for antelope when the Game Dept. published the list the second week of June 2014? I'd really like to see what units had tags, the type and the number of tags in the unit.
I'm a new guy with 1 PP and I don't see much chance of success in the PP draw or the random draw. I think my best chance to hunt 2015 is to try to snag some left overs. If I had the 2014 list, it would give me some indication of the units to look at for hunting opportunities, assuming the left overs for 2015 will be somewhat similiar to 2014. I'm aware most of the left overs are in units with poor public access. I have already called the head shed in Cheyenne to see if they had a June list of left overs and was told they don't keep that info. I found that hard to believe but, that's what the lady said. If anyone still has the 2014 list, let me know. Thanks

IMO if u really wanna hunt Wyoming lopes in 2015, u should put up the extra money for the special draw n pull a good quality tag. Don't sell yourself short, 1 point in the special draw can get u into some very good antelope hunting!

Thanks for the opinion kesand72. I figure the chance of drawing a green chip unit with a special tag and 1 PP would be between 50 and 70% depending on the unit. Some blue chips take the special and lots of points.
The way my luck runs, my odds are probably closer to 40%. Yes, it certainly is better odds than the regular PP or random draw. And, that may be the way to go with the left over option as a plan B. Either way, I'd sure like to find out what left overs were available from 2014.

Musket Man posted those a little while ago on a different thread. I didn't search it out, but he had them saved.

on their way in a minute or so..

Got em......Thanks Bob. Now I can call the local warden and when he starts talking about units and land owners, I'll have some data to determine if I'm on a wild goose chase or not. The killer to this venture is what the land owners get for hunting fees and how much land the rancher has to hunt. Like kersand72 was talking; The special tag may be the best route. If a left over regular tag plus the land owner fee is over say $550 then I'll have to do some thinking. I'm on a budget just like most wanna be Wyoming antelope hunters.
If I can return a favor just let me know.

Love your country around Bend. I attended a business meeting at Sun River several years ago...........really liked the area.

I'm building points till my daughter gets out of school and hunt does in the meantime. Four does will run you $165 and a dinker buck tag is $280.
It's getting to be a chess game with fewer tags dropping down to the nr draw and the resultant drop in odds and leftovers.

In unit 23 the land owners I called were asking $400 to hunt there ranch. Some said $400 for one days access to there place. I kept calling until I found one that would let us camp and take a couple of days to fill our tags. The chamber of commerce is were you want to call to get the landowners information. My dad, friend, and I just got back a couple of weeks ago and we had a great time. Good Luck

Ricochet,
So, did you end up paying $400 for 3 of you till you filled your tags? And you got to camp on the property? That would be a decent deal.
