Wyoming trespass fee antelope

[Ridgerunner]

If anyone has had any good experiences with ranches in the eastern half of the state I'd love to hear from you.  I'm researching units to hunt over there now.  don't mind paying a little extra money to have a better experience with my boys again.

I know if you havent reserved a spot for this year already, then you are probably out of luck for some of the better areas.  Call the local Biologist and they will provide you with a list of land owners that offer hunting oppurtunities.

Call the regional office and talk to the biologist for the unit you are looking at.  WY is far better and more friendly than any state office I have ever delt with.  The bio's have tons of info that will help you out and they will be able to give you phone numbers for ranches that charge fees.

I literally offered a landowner the clothes off my back, and then invited us for free.

The WY game depth has a list of land owners you can get. Get the list and start calling land owners 

The only thing I would say to watch for, is some land owners charge a base fee and some charge per animal taken. There was no way I was going to pay  $100 for each doe

The Wyoming Fish and Game Department is no longer providing the landowner lists. Although it might be possible to get a name and phone number from a biologist like others have mentioned.

Try the town of Douglas Chamber of Commerce, they used to match up hunters and ranchers in their area.

If you have the ability to turn on a computer and go to a county assessor web site and use google earth and a BLM map, you don't need to pay a trespass fee! I have told people before, I hunt in a unit that has 100% draw odds on antelope with lots of land to hunt, you just need to know how to read a map or get a GPS! Just a chip is the same as a trespass fee, now your set for years to come!
I just think people are lazy and have no idea of how to research anything, maybe that's why all my friends let me do this part!😁

Do you need any new friends finnman?

The "better" owners don't typically charge for does.  They just want them gone to stop eating their crops. 

One thing I learned about the GPS chips and talking with a game warden there.  While GPS may be more accurate, the warden will follow the decades old fencelines. We found some fences were 50' off. 

I used good maps along with my regular GPS and had no issues.  Only problem I ran into was a not so honest guide. He tried to run us off public land that bordered his lease. 

Good luck and have FUN.

Interestingly enough, I was browsing the web site this week that I used last year to print a few blm maps for our hunt. Once we were over there, we drove the two track up to the area we wanted to hunt, got out turned on the Rhino with hunt chip, started walking, hit a white line on the rhino??? Weird, the map showed all blm?? We skirted and put a hunt on some antelope, they moved out, oh well.
Flash forward to this week, I got on the county assess does web page went to the parcel viewer and searched that area, sure enough that was a private piece right in amongst that blm! The map was wrong the chip was right! So I am good with that combo! I suggest trying the GIS web sites, great data and layers to look at for little out of the way areas to hunt.
Having a background in land surveying does not hurt either!!
