Title: Wyoming Antelope Unit 80
Post by: tntklundt on June 20, 2025, 09:21:28 AM: We drew Wyoming Antelope for Unit 80. Trying to decide between staying in Cody or Powell. Looks like plenty of public land to hunt out of either town. Curious if anybody has any experience in this area? Also looking for any recommendations of hunter friendly motels in either town? Thanks in advance.

However, if you're got any non-hunting family going along, Cody has quite a bit to do and lots of places to eat. Cody is within Yellowstone's gravitational pull, so there's tons of tourist infrastructure.
