Most of them are a month or more.

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I and my family have hunted pronghorn in Wyoming periodically since 1977. The most important thing you can do is find a place to hunt with animals. The people in the stores, Dept of Wildlife are very friendly. The land owners as a rule are jerks unlike anything I have ever seen in Washington.

We hunt public land, buy land status maps before we hunt. We know where we are. The ranchers will try to tell you you are on their property, try to kick you off until you back up where you are with maps. We have had: ranchers drive up and down the road to scare the animals off the school section so we couldn't hunt them, send her grandson out on a four wheeler to scare them off, My brother-in-law, sick from diabetes, shot a doe. The land owner tried to chase the wounded doe with the 4 X 4  onto their property so they could charge a fee.Talked to people who had paid tresspass fees and found they were assigned to a school section to hunt (public land). Had shots fired over our heads.

The problem seems to be that the ranchers lease grazing rights on public land. That does NOT give them controll of hunting or tresspass rights. We have found a area of about 7 sections of federal government land continuous property and occasionally have land owners harass us. They will try to get the land owner portion of the tag for a state refund by many devious ways.

I love the hunting trip and the hunt, never have found even one decent land owner. Probably have been different if I paid to go on a big ranch.

Here's a shot in the dark - do you hunt west of I-25, getting off the Interstate at the Kaycee exit?
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Sled, the tentative full price antelope seasons can be viewed here: http://gf.state.wy.us/downloads/pdf/11appbooklet/11NR24.pdf

The tentative reduced price doe/fawn antelope seasons are different and can be viewed here: http://gf.state.wy.us/downloads/pdf/11appbooklet/11NR25.pdf

Doublelung: you probably all know this; for the others the areas west of Kaycee are in units 21 and 20 (20 is north of 21.)

Here's a high level map showing Kaycee and the surrounding areas land ownership. White areas are private land.  Yellow areas are BLM and can be publicly hunted for the most part.  Blue/teal areas are state land, and can be publicly hunted for the most part.

Thanks Bob - it was just a guess, that area was a hotspot for landowner-public land hunter confrontations.  In my experience, 90% of Wyoming ranchers are among the finest people you will ever meet.  5% are the meanest, most miserable human beings imaginable!

Most of the time my family hunts further east that KayCee, the one time we hunted in the KayCee area was the worst. The Game Warden warned us we would have land owner problems and we sure did.

We have finally got a chunk of public land to hunt, and we know where we are. When first establishing a area the local ranchers tried to run us out. We had one come across the sage brush in a jacked up 4 X 4 and jumped out and came up to me and my wife very threateningly saying do you know where you are. I said yes were are on public lands goes from there to over there. He immediately calmed down and said who told you. I said we have land status maps. He drove off. A group of hunters stopped at our camp that night and ask if we had maps. The same person had ran them out. By my maps they were 10 miles in public land.

I imagine if I was paying them to hunt they would be very friendly. I got so I could identify the public land with the grazing rights leased out. It would be grazed down to almost bare dirt.

If I go back I will buy new maps as there is constant land deals being made .
