Well we just got back this week from our first Wyoming antelope trip. It was a absolute blast and I highly recommended it for your family.
We drove strait through from Oregon 18 hours too our hunting unit. As soon as we hit the boarder for Wyoming you start seeing antelope everywhere. I think the long drive and thousands of goats was too much for my hunting buddy to take. Before we found a place to camp he shot his buck #-o I still say he is insane.

Three days later after looking at 50 bucks a day, I took this buck. He has 6" and 6.5" mass measurements with 7" prongs. Not very tall at a little over 13" but supper heavy and the best prongs I saw on the trip.

If you are looking for a high success, low pressure, fun, fun, hunt, you must go and hunt Wyoming antelope 10sign:
I can't wait to get my family back over and let them enjoy the success!

when we went it was the same way, makes you feel dumb for waiting 12+ years in Oregon for the chance to hunt something you could hunt every year in Wyoming, and it's pretty cheap to do!
great job on a couple great bucks!
You guys did great. Nice bucks!

I heard a crazy stat the other day that blew my mind. There are roughly 750,000 antelope, and almost 500,000 of them are in Wyoming!
Holly Crap!!
Where'd you get them?
We had Unit 68 tags. One was north of 287 and the other was South of 287.
What does a non-res tag set a guy back these days?
Congrats on some nice bucks! I'd love to do that one of these days.
Antelope full price tags are $272.00 I believe. There is also a "special" tag that is $512.00. The only thing special about the "special tag" is that your odds of drawing are usually better. Also there is a $14.00 conservation stamp I think it is.
So with that all said, My buddy and I spent less that a 1,000 bucks on the trip total a peace. We traveled almost 2,000 miles. If we did it again we figure we can cut it down to @ $700-$800 bucks a peace.
The rumor is that prices are going up soon also.
