Speedgoat Questions

Let me start off by saying I've never hunted antelope, but I am really looking forward to start. I work for Union Pacific railroad and one of my runs I was on was to green river wyoming, and of course I saw a ton of speedgoats and a few bucks that looked pretty big to me, once again I don't know exactly what to look for when I see one. Here is my question, does anyone know if I can go buy a tag for next year over the counter, or do they have a draw for the area in between evanston and green river wyoming. I tried to look at their DWR site, but didn't really find the answers I wanted. Also does anyone know a good spot to try to put in for a Utah speedgoat tag. Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out, i'm willing to do my homework so I know what a good buck would be from a average one, and do a ton of scouting. I just don't know where to begin, thanks again if anyone can help.

I think that almost all of western Wyoming is a draw now. I've never hunted up that way but I pulled a goat tag out by Myton a few years ago. It only took me three years to draw the tag. The whole northeast corner of the state has some really nice goats so I wouldn't worry about which unit has the best cause they are all good. I'd just find which unit works the best for you and start putting in. As far as judging the size of the animals I'd just keep watching them and you will start to see the difference between the nice goats and the average goats. I'd love to chase goats again but for now I'm putting in for deer and I might be getting close to getting a tag so that is priority one for now.

Good Luck.

Thank you for the info a_bow_nut. Can I put in for elk and antelope or just one.

That's the bad part about Utah you can only put in for one species at a time. :>/

I'm in the same boat. I've been putting in for deer for awhile now but would also like to chase some of these limited entry elk that they have around here. So should I just put in for the bookcliffs which I know that I can draw of stick with the Henery Mountians that will still take years to draw?
