Hi all -
I am in the beginning stages of planning a fall 2017 WY pronghorn hunt. One of the reasons my hunting partner and I are waiting to hunt is to collect points and allow plenty of time for research. Of course I have started by getting as much information as possible from the WY F&G site. We are looking at draw odds, success %, amount of public land, access, etc. I'm pretty well outfitted gear-wise and am thinking about spending some of my money on research tools. I plan on updating my GPS and getting a landowner chip for sure and have wondered about subscribing to Eastman's or something like that.
First question, what chip do you recommend? Second, what subscriptions do you find useful for WY antelope research? If you know the ballpark cost, that would be great, but of course I can research it myself if not. My hunting partner and I are trying to make a deliberate, informed decision on specific units and I bet some of this information will be helpful. I'm sure as our hunt draws near we will be bouncing some ideas around on the forum, too.
As always, thanks in advance. I appreciate the time other hunters take to contribute to this site! - 25/06 Rem
