LAST EDITED ON Jan-04-14 AT 08:29AM (MST)[p]YD---IMHO I think they've picked a very good unit. Numbers are good, as well as the quality of bucks, and there really has been no winter kill in the unit the last few years that I'm aware of. It's also at least 80% BLM land, so access will not present a problem on most of it, but you should have a good map and preferably a GPS with landowner chip. You'll probably want to do a camp hunt since motels would be way over in Riverton southwest of the unit, which is big enough that it would waste a lot of time and gas driving to town every night. There are quite a few motels there that you can find with a quick internet search. 4PPs should draw the tags based on the last few years draw odds. Hope that helps some.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-04-14 AT 11:54AM (MST)[p]Access is decent in 75. Mike Eastman filmed a hunt in this area a few years ago. Later in the season is better as antelope migrate out of the mountains from the north. Quality is down as are total numbers. Its the same with all the areas to the east and south of 75. We had a bad winter year before last. Tags were cut everywhere out that way. From what I've seen in my travels, it seems to be a typical winter out there. Guess we'll see how things go this spring...
