That 1st lope I would have shot before anything else that has some pretty cool character to it, the second one is extreamly wide another shooter. i like non typicals

 

one you got is nice congrats.

 

if you dont mind can you pm me how where and cost(trespass fees?) you hunted in WY for lopes . Daughter wants a lope really bad more than anything else. maybe next year I will put in.

 

You could kill a buck like the ones in the first pics in any unit in the state. Those are probably 60-65" antelope at best and are available everywhere. Just find a unit with some public land and go hunting. You can still buy a preference point for this year so be sure to do that as you'll be opened up to a lot more units you could draw with one point. The unit I hunted was one of the premier units in the state and takes a bunch of points to draw. The main reason you'd wait for that is to get a high scoring buck. It's still nowhere even close to the quality of AZ as I truly did look over atleast 1000 bucks to find that one. If you glassed 20 bucks in AZ before season you'd find one bigger then the one I killed. The cool thing about Wyoming antelope is there's a million of them so if you just wanna shoot one then pic a unit with a bunch of public (or private access for a fee if you are capable) and go. You literally can't mess it up and you will kill your bucks.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Ive been to wy just never hunter there. lopes are like pigeons in the city over there. I got 3 tags here in AZ. I like the non typical lopes. a guy I know in Montana has killed some insane looking ones of the years. only thing I worry about going out of state is I don't know the area and don't have much time to scout, not to mention getting the time off to hunt for a long period. Kid wants a lope in a bad way, I wouldnt mind one with a bow but wouldnt do a rifle tag up there unless it was a good unit. Kid will shoot anything shes not picky.so its more for Her then I.

a friend gave me some info on NM today when he saw this post.
