Some advice on Speed Goat Areas

[Sharpstick]

I appreciate the forum and those who willing share their knowledge. I have a son that will be leaving on an LDS mission in the spring of 2014, so I would like to take all three of my sons on an antelope hunt in WY next fall (2013) before he leaves. We use to go out by Saratoga years ago but it's not a guarantee draw any more and I need to find an area with plenty of goats, lots of public land or willing landowners and mostly an area with 100% draw. We're not looking for trophies this time; just time together with a chance of us all getting a goat. I plan on doing my homework and I'll spend lots of time on the Game and Fish website, but I would also appreciate any advice or help you could render. Thank you in advance for your help.

My advice would be to buy points now for each of you before the window closes Sep 30th, then you will have at least one going into the draws next year that will give you more areas to pick from.

I would have to 2nd that advice.

I would agree with that advice as well. The points are only $30 per person and greatly increase your odds.

Here is a link to the WY G&F website to buy prefernce points.
