hangunnr Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Re: ANTELOPE IN WYOMING That's cool Mike. How did you find out about the draw so early? I was under the impression the draw didn't take place until June or July. JJL and I will be heading out to Wyoming for our speed goat bowhunt the first week of September. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AllArmyoutdoorsSD Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Re: ANTELOPE IN WYOMING Some pointers on goat care after the kill... I was born and raised in SW Wy. antelope is one of my favorite species, but if you don't take care of the meat you may be dissapointed, I have found that when I skin and quarter the animal and put it on ice within the hour of the shot, The meat is tender and much more palletable. Just a suggestion, I like to use the big blocks of ice and depending on cooler size one or two per will do fine. Enjoy the hunt and the great table fair after!

Guest Colorado Bob Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Re: ANTELOPE IN WYOMING Don't shoot the 1st one you see. Antelope hunting is fun. Look over lots of them----if you blow a stalk don't worry---more are just down around the bend. Skin it & get it cooled ASAP. Plus if you want a mount get it caped & on dry ice then to the taxidermist ASAP----th hair can slip real easy on them. IMO they make the prettiest mount of all the game animals.

Guest Phaseolus (BeanMan) Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Re: ANTELOPE IN WYOMING Too, ColoradoBob gave you good advice, don't shoot the first one you see because you will have LOTS of opportunities. The hard part about antelope hunting is drawing the tag, the fun part is glassing lots of goats, sneaking up on them, blowing a few stalks, and then finally harvesting. It will be great fun for you, don't be in a hurry to get it over too quick. Beanman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
