Wife and I are antelope hunting for the first time tomorrow
wish us luck.
good luck !!!!
Waidmann's Heil!
Good luck.
Good luck. My season doesnt open until next Saturday..... Damn you.
My season doesn't open until Saturday either. If your area in Wyoming is anything like ours you should have filled tags and pictures up by noon. Good luck
[M2]
Good luck on your hunt, safe travels and enjoy!
What are antelope tags running for us out of staters going to Wyoming to hunt? And good luck with your hunt tomorrow, share the pics and details!
Good luck!
Enjoy it!
$47 plus $12 stamp (which would be $59 but noooooooooooooooo DOW's can't make anything simple)Quote:

John must have got doe/fawn tags like me. He is right on the prices. buck tags are more.Quote:

well, damn few antelope in our area. (everywhere on the way up, but damn few around once we got there)
My wife got one late in the day (6pm)

Well darn it!!!! At least you didn't get totally skunked.Quote:

just FYI.
well
we butchered the whole thing.
cut it all up, hung it, ground it, got the steaks, tenderloins and backstrap out
did we do it totally right?
eh, probably not
but we made an effort, for our first game.
would be a lot easier if it wasn't so effing hot out?
isn't it almost october??????
Yes It's hard to keep it from spoiling when it's 85 degrees. [Luck]
Congrats - I think. Your wife got it? I would never hear the end of that, ouch.
Oh i dunnoQuote:

don't worry, she had to butcher it. She did most of it (I just helped hang it and move stuff around)
she's tough (she married me after all)
Congrats, Brian! (Figgers the wife would get the first one, I've seen her shoot.)
I've killed 7 or 8 speed goats. We usually just cut them up and label the packages something like "MEAT, antelope, 2011".
Most go into sausage, but we always save the backstraps and a couple of nice looking roasts.
Enjoy!
Antelope roasts are my favorite. Beef tips using antelope are very good as well. Just got done eating some of the antelope I took on the 25th. Very tasty. Way more does in area 45 than bucks.
BTW, area 45 is west of Laramie.
Another one bites the dust! Pics tomorrow, it's late and been a long day..
come on! just a peek!Quote:

These out of state-ers have more money than sense. I need to start my own guide service so I get the $2500 a piece instead of just tips.
Went by the processor and they had 140 antelope in by 1pm Sat.
Went by another processor and they had an additional 100+ by the same time.
Sounds like a lot of people filled their tags and it was a good year.
EDIT: For the most part there were a lot better shooters this year. Less shot up animals looking like they got hit by a bomb at both processors.
OkQuote:

for fuck's sake, haven't these people been to wyoming??????
there are EVERYWHERE.
Here's a couple pics of my doe from yesterday. Got this one in CO, GMU 105, East of Denver about an hour and a half. Skinned carcus hanging weight at Steve's Meat Market in Arvada was 55lbs, so pretty decent size.
Nice shootin.
Thanks! Tad high but I was zeroed at 200 yds with the .270 Hornady Super Performance 130 Gr SST (3200 fps at the muzzle). Antelope was probably at 120 yds or so.Quote:

And for all the longrange guys out there, wow, dont see how you do it. 400 is a long fucking shot on a small animal....

glad you guys are getting some prairie ghosts. all I had was an archery tag and never had anything come in close.
i'll tell you this for sure ain't nobody hitting a speed goat at a 1000 yards when it's on the run. If the do the got a whole leprechaun up their ass! Great shot, grats on the speed goat [Beer]
