Day Dreaming for Antelope

Recommended Posts

The last hunt for antelope was back in 2010 up in Wyoming when I drew a permit in unit 64.  I have been putting in for points since and now have 11, so figure it is time to cash in the chips.  I have been looking at draw odds, access, % public land, trophy quality, yada yada, and have not made a decision yet.  Will see what the rest of the winter in Wyoming brings- hopefully mild.  (I have 15 points for antelope in AZ, but all know that won't get you a cup of coffee). 

Photo is of the 2010 Wyoming antelope. The blaze cap was swapped out for photo purposes.

Anyone else chomping at the bit for an antelope permit?

I have 21 points for Az. I'll probably need to wait 10 more years for a rifle tag.

What is the max points for antelope? 27 or 28?

I’ve got i think 24-25 bp’s for az antelope. It’ll probably be another 5-10 years

That’s a beautiful buck, the prongs are unreal and the coat is pristine. 
 

You definitely have something to look forward to this year. I hope we can get lucky and snag an AZ tag this year, but if not, Wyoming is a possibility.

No idea. I just know I'm not there yet or may never be.

My son has had 3 Az tags (1 rifle and 2 archery in 4 years - the butt) since my last in 2003.  At least got the bug out a bit with him but I’m ready.  I think we have 4 or 5 Wy points now.  Waiting for the year none of us have elks tags and then time to cash them in.  An Az tag is just a dream with my 20 points.  Better off with 2 I think….

I haven't had an antelope tag since 17.  I think I've had 5 total. All archery.  I have two bucks comparable to this one scouted out.

Really nice antelope. I am waiting on Wyoming as well. I am starting over in Arizona, so Wyoming will be next.

I am at 27 BPs for AZ, 4 for WY.

I will be back in NM on a landowner tag again this year.  Looking for #5.
