Wyoming?
Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 6:17 pm
Hello
I am new to the board
I won't lie, I'm looking for help
I am no trophy hunter!
I am just looking for some good hunting
I live in Arizona and believe I will never draw an antelope tag here, therefore I am going elsewhere.
one of my biggest hunting goals is to complete a deer grand slam, so far I have Coues deer and Muley checked off.
I figured that since I will be in eastern whitetail country why not try to get one step closer
I am planning a combo DIY antelope and whitetail hunt in Wyoming for fall 2010.
I have been in contact with a resident in the western part of the state and he can help with the antelope part however I'm leaning more towards a hunt in the south central part of the state, then going site seeing
a couple of days in Nebraska and South Dakota (Mt Rushmore and others) since this may very well be a once in a lifetime trip for me and my wife.
then I wanted to hunt whitetail deer in the eastern part of the state
here's my dilemma;
the pronghorn hunts start in mid Sept or 1 Oct
the deer hunts in the NE corner of the Wyoming (specifically the Black Hills NF) start 1 Nov ( same goes for the NW portion of SD)
there are some deer hunts that start 1 Oct in southeastern WY but there is an awful lot private land and a lot fewer tags
as of right now I've got my sights set on area 47 for antelope,
question: is the antelope hunting still going to be excellent the last week of Oct?
I've heard that right after the first few days the lopes get a little skittish but settle down once the crowds disappear
our plan is to hunt antelope 3-5 days (hopefully 1-2 only) in area 47 then go site seeing ending up in region A on 1 Nov to hunt deer
this is going to be a family vacation
I will hunt buck pronghorn and whitetail
while the wife and my two older boys will hunt does
question: does anyone know of a good place to hunt whitetail on public land around the town of Torrington WY?
if I could hunt this region it would solve a few problems.
we are planning on taking 2 weeks
this includes travel time to and from Tucson
any suggestions, comments, concerns are greatly appreciated
nobody here owes me anything
I'm just looking for a heads up
thanks
Frank
