2011 Antelope Unit ??? with 4.5 points

MITROLL · Jan 20, 2011

It's been 2007 since I was out hunting. Had to get a refund last year due to unexpected financial obligations. Me and my brother have 4.5 pts combined for Antelope. According to draw odds the following units look promising:62,64,67,74,90,92,94 and 96. This will be a DIY. Were looking for good goats this time out. We may try and combine with deer. We have 4pts for deer. Any info on units or trophy potential would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brian

90 and 96 would be the ones, I would look into.

Hey Woodtick. If I was to hunt unit 90 based on the winter, etc. Which side of the highway 91 would you hunt? Game warden suggested west side. He also said the east side had more hay fields and water. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

MITROLL---Check the weather closely for that whole area before you apply because some spots down in the southern part of the state are having the worst winter in the last 5 years. I have no idea if that unit is deep in snow but the temps have been pretty nasty out there. Don't waste almost max points putting in for it if there is a bad dieoff over the winter and early Spring.

67 and 74 are good choices... Plenty of goats...

MITROLL · Mar 3, 2011

Thanks for all your inputs. I'll let you know what unit I picked and hopefully have some pics in the fall. Brian

Chadderbox, hows the winter been in that area. On another post a gentleman said it was pretty bad in area 67. Do you live in that area? Thanks for your help. MITROLL

I live in Riverton and no problems yet, not seeing any winter kill as of yet... I think we are gonna have as good of a year as last year if not better... I talked to one of the govt. trappers the other day and he says he hasn't seen any winter kills yet either... We had good forbes last summer in these areas, so I think we will be good...
