My family and I will be traveling to unit 73 for an antelope hunt this fall. My wife does not want to camp for as long as we plan to be in the area with our kids going and the potential for bad weather. Besides the hotels in Casper are there any recommendations for places to stay that might put us more in the antelope unit? Cabins?
Unit 73 Antelope hunt places to stay
- Thread starter Work2hunt
- Start date
I'm pretty sure the town of Powder River has some kind of accommodations, but it's just a couple little rooms with running water. If your needing any kind of amenities, you'd be better off staying in Casper.
I just drove by the place about a month ago, and just can't remember the name of it.
Any one else remember the name?? I know there is a post office there, maybe just call it and ask if they know the name of the motel there.
By the way Antelope everywhere, you'll have fun.

Casper east RV park in Casper has small cabins to rent. It's right in town so it's not the quietest place but your close to things to do with the kids. It also has gas stations. Don't leave town without a full tank

You are right about Hiland. Used to be an rv park & motel at Hell's Half Acre, but it's long gone. (stayed there a few times). Nothing in Powder River.

I hunted in 73 back in 2015 we stayed at a family's cabin on 33 mile road. Just a few miles north of buffalo creek road. Really good access to walk- in and public land and lots of goats. I will PM you with guys name and number. Also look up Willard spring lodge on Facebook.

I hunted 73 last year. We ended up staying at a hotel in West Casper. It gave us easy access to the highway and there were plenty of restaurants nearby. We were going to stay at the Willard Springs Lodge, but the road conditions were terrible. Access to the lodge isn't that easy. If you look at Air BNB or VRBO there are some awesome houses you could rent in Casper

Roger,
We have been hunting in Unit 21 for about 3 years but didn't get drawn for the last two. We drew for unit 73 with 5 preference points and looking for general areas to hunt. The fish and game "walk in areas" infor wasn't much help as it showed longitude and latitude but no entry/parking direction and says to contact Casper office for more information. Did you hunt any of these last year or just public land with the GPS using HuntX sim card?
We are going to stay in Edgerton at an RV spot since it is pretty close to the North edge of the unit. We normally stay in Kaycee at an RV park that but it is a little too far to drive each day to Unit 73.
Were you able to get permission to hunt any private lands in that unit? I do have the Fish and Game land owners printout to use.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ken
