Asking for a friend

Sallaberry · Aug 18, 2022

So I’m going antelope hunting with a guy he has 61,62,64,71,73 I’m thinking 73 will hold the most antelope just on what I’ve seen in April months shed hunting. He’s not looking for a monster buck only killed one mule deer before this. If anybody has any info I’d appreciate it. Hunting isn’t easy but I think we can get it done rather quickly.

I wish I could help, but I don’t have any intel that would be helpful. Hit up huntandfish through PM. He’s up there now on an archery deer hunt & has spent a lot of time up there.

I’ve seen a lot of antelope in 062, but never hunted them there. Seen them at varied altitudes.

Seen a quite a few in 062 in recent years and a few big groups in 071 last year.

There’s a ton of antelope in every unit of this hunt. I’ve seen more then any other part of the state. The hard part is that you look at so many high 60s to low 70s when you see a 75 he looks giant. I don’t think you will have a problem at all. If your struggling send me a pm and I can help.

I am hunting there also! Been scouting hard and there are large groups of goats in every unit. Your buddy won’t struggle to find one. I have yet to turn up a really big one. 6chuckar is spot on. This is one of the largest I have seen so-far. If only he had more length.

DESKPOP · Aug 19, 2022

Goats in those units seem to be young, too many tags?

BeDawg · Aug 19, 2022

They seemed to be bigger 10 years ago.

I saw a legit 88-90” buck in one of your units last September on my elk hunt. My advice, hunt where the elk and deer live. Aspens and conifers?

BeDawg · Aug 23, 2022

Spent days of scouting, was after one of the largest bucks I could find (around 75 inches). I looked in a spotter at 200-300 different bucks since June. I definitely don’t think this unit was what it once was. Seemed to be lots of tiny bucks this year. I saw the buck I shot while scouting. I told myself I would take this buck because he was different.

What do you think he scores? He's closer to 80" than 70" aint he? I'd bet he's closer to 80 than 75 even, always hard to tell with one pic though. he'd get my itchy trigger finger in trouble.

BeDawg · Aug 25, 2022

I would for sure shoot him had I seen him before my goofy buck. I bet he score a tad over 75.

One of the shooters in my opinion. He is good, just needs larger cutters.

Jgill19 · Aug 25, 2022

Yeah i figured he was 76-77. as long as he was at least 15". Anthing over that is pushing him further (strictly my opinion). Always curious what others think on score vs what I see on Antelope. Part of my on going education with these critters lol

Last weekend 062

Sallaberry · Aug 25, 2022

Got it done he missed a real good one but hell it’s was good and quick. Thanks for all the input we harvested in 061

Calbuck · Aug 25, 2022

Nice goats! Fun hunting no matter what they score. I'm off waiting period next year.

We have already eaten 1/3 of that little goat. Steaks and burger is delicious!
