WYOMING ANTELOPE UNIT 23
« on: June 27, 2018, 09:14:50 PM »
The old-man and I bought a couple any antelope tags in this unit. We have both have never been antelope hunting and know the unit is difficult access.

This will likely be the last big game hunt I will get to do with my dad. We are not looking for trophy animals but rather just some success we can look back on together.

We will be camping on BLM land.

If anyone has tips on which roads I can access without a ticket, where to camp, or other access tips, please send them my way. If you prefer to send a PM that would be great.

Best,

Northwest.
A remarkable experience is one where the pain is forgotten so quickly, the frustrations and struggles are forgotten the minute you’re done.

I can’t wait to do it the next time.

I am sure you probably have one but if not buy a onx map and you can start studying it now. They are a huge help

I been marking up waypoints on ONx. I Looked up the County roads online. Trying to compare that with ONx.

One of the first tings I do as well. Always good to get a little line on access before getting over in new country.

Definitely get the current county road map.  Ranchers in that area frequently will post both sides of the county road where it enters their ranch and that can appear to mean no entry beyond that point.  It doesn't, it applies to the deeded land only, you can still drive the public road AND access public land fronting the road. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Hi,

I just saw this and know it's late, hopefully your hunting season isn't already over. I hunted neighboring unit 19 last year, which is just North of Gillette. It was also difficult access. OnX maps someone already mentioned. I also bought a hard copy DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer for the state, and marked out the unit boundary. Then, look on the website for the county, and they will show county maintained roads, which are the ones you can drive on. Any other ones you likely can't. That was the only definitive way I was able to find out if you could or couldn't drive on a road. I initially focused on the only large section of BLM land in the area, but ended up harvesting my buck on a small section of state land near town where there happened to be antelope when I drove by it, so don't overlook the small sections of accessible land. Good luck!

Thanks,
Rydonn
