I have 5 pp's. I can draw most of the 90 units with the exception of 92. I can also draw 59 and 100. I'm sticking to these units because of their proximity to home.I know the winter has been bad, and it is not over. I have never hunted Antelope. I Would put in the time and hopefully find something in the upper 70s. Just wondering what you locals think. I really want to hunt this year even though the winter is bad. Would you guys suggest any of these units more than the others? Also, historical success rate on Antelope hunts in Wyoming is around 85%. Do you think with a bad winter that will drop significantly? Like say down into the 40 or 50% range?

Lots of great antelope hunting with 5 points. No antelope winterkill so far but April and May will tell. Units along I-80 are good as are ones near central part of the state. areas in the 40's are also good ones. Your points will get you in a great unit so pick one with good access and the antelope will be there. Be patient and look over a bunch of bucks before pulling the trigger, you can get an 80 incher if you're patient.

Shane, draw a unit with no bears! Pops may not come along if you do. Let me know what you draw and I will meet you for a beer.
