My buck we called Stovepipe. His horns went straight up and were pretty cool looking. After passing this buck two other times I decided to take him. I'm glad I did.

Post by: Ridgerunner on September 26, 2010, 11:15:17 AM: For those that have not hunted speed goats in Wyoming you are missing out. We rolled into the unit around noon and if we wanted to we could have tagged out by 12:30. Instead we elected to be somewhat selective and passed on at least 150 bucks the rest of that afternoon. There is no comparison to hunting in Washington that I can think of. Antelope in wyoming equals big time fun, next time I'm going to lock my bullets away for 24 hours and look for Mr. Big. Its tough to pass on buck after buck though, something I'm not used to doing in Washington.

I agree! It is too bad they don't sell extra buck tags for less $$. Talking to the rancher who let us camp on his land and hunt, most ranchers think of them like rats.

Post by: shanevg on September 26, 2010, 09:38:11 PM: Just bought my second Wyoming antelope point. At this point I'm just waiting until I get enough time off to make the best of the hunt. I would like to do a Montana/Wyoming combo with a couple of guys and just load up on 'lopes. Congrats on the bucks!
