Wyoming period..... nuff said. yes you can get over the counter tags, they are called leftovers I used to do it every year. Matter fact you can call licenced dealer over there and they will do it over the phone and hold them for you till you arrive. The Rourke Ranch specializes in archery hunts. Gillette WY.

Check out Eastman's hunting journal, jan/feb issue and you will see where the best trophy states are. Wyoming is not number 1, but is way up there. Based on costs and land access, I would think WY would be a great choice. There are some units available that average near or at 100% success each year for NR hunters. Tag cost is just over $200. Good luck if you go.

I will bet that a significant portion of the trophy antelope shot in Wyoming, by residents anyway, never see the book.  When working antelope hunters out of Casper, I saw B&C bucks at check stations and during field checks nearly every year.  Those killed by residents rarely ever appear in B&C, in my experience.  To a lot of Wyoming residents, pronghorn were strictly a jerky/sausage hunt before the "real" seasons.  A classic case of familiarity breeding contempt.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
