67 speed goats chug, chug

clinton5 · Sep 19, 2012

Hi guys, looking at MM members for advice from people that have been there, boots on the ground. An old school buddy and I are heading to WY unit 67 antelope Sept 30-oct 6. I'm looking at the maps I ordered and noticing some water in the se part of the unit. Are these still holding water due to the drought? Do the goats in that unit get their water from stock tanks or irrigated fields?? I see water holes like Mahoney res, puddle springs, Peratia springs, Signor draw ponds, Rognis res... do they still have h20?? Surely we want to kill goats but after that we plan to scout muleys for another potential hunt down the road. I know guys are tight lipped and I am the same way but if anyone is willing to throw us a bone for areas to scout for some muleys that would be fantastic. Is there much of an elk herd in that country/ I have not hunted elk for several years and would simply love to see a wild wapati. Thanks so much Jon

There is no irrigation in 67. Most of the ponds on your maps will be dry so look for the cattle tanks, creeks, and springs. There are several right along the highway. Hunt the east side of the unit.I've hunted there twice but never saw an Elk. Get up on top of the Beaver rim and glass north if you're looking for deer. They are widely scattered but there seem to be a few more there. Good luck.

Thanks for the note chipc. Does the terrain of 67 offer opportunity to archery hunt antelope or is the unit too open and flat to stalk within archery range? Never being in WY and with the hunt getting started soon for me. I'm starting to nervous.

dont be nervous..you cant swing a dead cat without hitting a pronghorn in 67..

thanks guys thats reassuring. I get there saturday til the fallowing saturday. I plan on taking my time to find a good one and look for some muleys after that. What part of the unit has the highest deer density? You can PM me if needed thanks again fellas and good luck to you all this fall.

lol, you make it sound like it was hard work and not enjoyable! That's the fun part of lope hunting if you ask me, the good ones, if that's what a guy wants, shouldn't come too easy!!

Did you post up pic's? Thanks and congrats!!
