Looks like I can buy two doe tags when I get there.
If I were you I wouldn't wait until you get there, just a suggestion ;)

Hmmmm, I asked them about a month ago and they didn't act like it'd be a big deal to get them when I come out. Maybe I'll call again today. Thanks.

are you going to wyoming? there won't be any shortage of doe tags based on the homework i have done. don't know for sure, but thats what it seems...you should buy them and you should fill them. they don't give a lot of meat...the more the merrier.
Doublelung would know for sure.

The way the weather is looking I'm beginning to worry about the drive over there late this month. Mainly the pass. Should I worry? What do you guys who go over a lot think?
Where are you headed? Montana or Wyoming? I wouldn't worry about the passes too much, I would worry a lot more about the back roads if you are hunting eastern Wyo. If it rains a lot the gumbo becomes impossible to drive in, no matter how good of a 4wd you have. It think eastern Montana has the same problem, but I'm not sure. I'd go no matter what though.

Oh yeah EastWa, sometimes the only thing that allows you to get around is the fact that it freezes at night most times. If not its best to walk from camp and keep a spoon in your vest for cleaning out the boots :chuckle:
Post by: KimberRich on October 14, 2009, 11:51:40 AM
Oh yeah, Eastern MT has the same problem. That whole region of SE MT and NE WY is full of Bentonite clay, the gooiest *censored* on the planet.
Very good analogy! Gooiest chit on earth! and it is... If it's cold better hope it stays cold. If it warms up and thaws it can darn tough to get around.

Personally I'd shoot this one. He about singlehandily made me apply for tags.

And you should, thats a damn good buck. I'd dump him in a heartbeat, well if I had permission to hunt the side of the fence he is on that is.

RPM-- Good luck on the hunt. I am sure you have hear this, but it is worth repeating. The ears are roughly six inches long. Use them as your first guide. Second, if the ears are below the prongs you are usually going to be at least 13". If you are looking for length that will help a bunch. If you are looking for score you need to look at mass. You get 4 measurements for mass on a lope, this is really where you can score. 2 above the prongs and 2 below. My 2 pictures above score with in an inch of each other. One is tall the other has mass. Both make Pope and Young, not even close to Boone and Crocket. P and Y is 67, B and C is 81. Both those lopes were right at 70". Hope that helps a little. You will have a blast!!thank you very much. that hepls a bunch

You guys are killing me. I put in for MT this year and didn't get drawn. I'll have to wait a friggin' year. :bash: When the boy turns 12 we will start putting in for Wyoming.
If you don't get drawn ..there are plenty over the counter tags too.

You are talking about Wyoming, right? Also, does anyone know if you can buy a MT Antelope doe tag OTC if you didn't get drawn for a buck tag?

In Wyoming I believe you have to draw in order to buy the doe tags for the same unit you draw in. I could be mistaken but that seemed to be what we did this year. We could have purchased 4 or 5 doe/fawn tags along with the buck tag. 34 dollars each doe/fawn tag.
That's the way I understood it too when I researched WY earlier this year. I think maybe the OTC tags Yelp is talking about are the leftovers from units that didn't get enough applicants.

Just got back from Wyoming this week and traveled during snow storm. Just take your time going through the passes in Montana. Make sure you stop for a burger in missal at 5 guys burgers and fries off of exit 105. You will love the antelope hunting. I am now addicted after going to Wyoming two years in a row and also hunting Montana for goats as well.Next time pass on the guide as it is not necessary for goats. My brother came with us and bought an over the counter and shot a 80 4/8 goat within 2 hours of purchasing the tag.Good Luck

I've been talking with them at the Bighorn show every year and they seem like good people. Pretty straightforward, I like that.
Where's your pics??

Actually, doe/fawn licenses are all independent of the any antelope license. You could potentially have six different licenses for six different hunt areas. All antelope licenses in Wyoming are limited quota, by hunt area.
Most public land hunt areas usually draw out in the license draw; private land areas are generally undersubscribed, with licenses available first-come, first-served after a certain date.
