I am looking for some information regarding antelope hunting in unit 90-1. My brother-in-law and I both put in with 4 points as nonresidents so we should draw this year. I am very excited about this hunt for a number of reasons. First, I have never killed an antelope and I pumped to finally have an opportunity. Second, years ago my grandfather owned a cattle ranch just south of Big Sandy and I used to spend the summers there. I have many great memories of the area.
We are looking forward to having a fun hunt, seeing lots of animals and hopefully (if we are lucky) taking goats in the 70" to 80? range. For me, I am anxious to get back to an area where I spent a lot of time as a young boy. We are both experienced hunters and are willing to work hard and be patient in order to take a decent animal.
If you have hunted unit 90-1 in the past or are generally familiar with the unit, I would appreciate any information that you can provide. Specifically, I would like to know: (1) some general areas to focus on during the hunt; (2) whether we should try to be there for the opener or show up later in the hunt after the crowds have died down; (3) any recommended areas to park a camping trailer and camp; (4) any suggested tips for hunting (e.g, focus on road hunting, get high and glass, etc.) and (5) what size of goats can we expect to see? Also, we are both avid archers. Would you recommend spending any time with our bows?
I would be happy to swap information regarding hunting in Utah. My brother-in-law and I have both spent a lot of time on the Paunsaugunt, Manti and Wasatch units. Thank you for your help and feel free to pm or email me if you would prefer to have this discussion off line.
Good luck in the upcoming draws!
