Title: idaho pronghorn
Post by: anglinarcher on September 07, 2011, 03:55:32 PM: me and 2 other buddies got drawn for an idaho pronghorn in unit 37. Was wondering if any one has ever hunted speed goats down there, and how they did. Haven't found a single picture or info through the net about it.
thanks,
Jeff

Watch out for the private ground down there, they arent happy about trespassers. There is public ground to hunt.

For size of antelope - 70" B&C is a good buck for that unit. Seems the bucks in that unit have fairly small prongs. It should be a fun hunt for you. I've been trying to draw that tag for 10+ years with no luck.....

I'm planning on knocking on a lot of doors and going from there. Got lucky getting drawn though, first year putting in and we were a party of 3. Any other info is greatly appreciated
thanks again,
Jeff
