Hey Hunt Talk-
With any luck I should draw a tag this year and I'm looking for some general info on the Rawlins/Saratoga area. Along with calling local biologist, taxidermy shops, ect. I figured I would check with people here as well. Below are a few things I'm looking for information on. Please feel free to shoot me a PM and I can let you know specific unit. Thanks for your help.
I will be in the area most likely the 2nd week in Oct.
- What weather conditions have you experienced this time of year? I know to expect anything from 80 degrees and sunny to 30 degrees and snowing but in general from year to year.
- What are BLM roads like in the area? Chains yes or no
- What kind of antelope number should I expect to see in a day on public? Very Few, Moderate, or more than you can shake a stick at
- If you see a buck in the xxx class don't be passing him up. If you see a buck in the xxx class you can let him go because you will surely see more before the end of the day.
- Best place to stop after the hunt for good dinner (steak or burger) and celebratory beverage?
- What kind of hunting pressure can you expect that time of year?
- I've had good or bad experience with xxx taxidermist or processor in the area?
- I've hunted the west before but never antelope. Don't forget to bring xxx.
I will have buddy along with me on the trip who is not hunting and just tagging along for vacation. He likes to hike, mtn bike, fish. We will most likely camp in the Medicine Bow NF. Any recommendations for hiking trails, bike trails, camping areas, or lakes/rivers to fish? Any places to stay away from are also helpful.
Thanks again!
