| Wyoming is the place to do it. There are *plenty* of them there.
You can get additional Antelope tags, too. I think the first
non-resident tag is $110+conservation stamp and the second tag
is $50 or $55.
Antelope see very very well and can run like the wind. I shot one
three years ago. I spent all day running a herd of them and finaly
got close enough about 3:00 pm. Took a fairly nice buck, which
was the start of my wall hangers.
From what I've been told, the best area of Wyoming to get a trophy
size Antelope is around the Red Rock (city) area.
Shoot straight !

ps. I have the Wyoming hunting brochure at home if you need additional
information on Wyoming laws and where to get BLM maps.

| If that bow hunter is still around, how did you make out??
Btw, I was hunting with 5 other friends in the Rawlings area last
year. What a great trip. We each took 2 Antelope (1 buck & 1 doe).
My buck scored 81 points, which is a nice buck. The doe had nice
little horns as well (does have small horns, up to 3"). They both
made nice mounts. We hunted in an area that offered hunting and
fishing (Antelope, Sage Hens, Coyote and Trout). It was a paradise!
We are going to do that hunt again next year (1990).
Wyoming does have ALOT of Antelope, but if you ever want a real
trophy--hunt Arizona. As with Elk, we don't have the numbers that
other states have, but... we have unbeatable quality. BIG bucks
and bulls. One catch, the draw is Tough. On average, you get drawn
for antelope 1 in 25 years (1-3% chance each year with rifle).
I on the other hand, having alot of luck, was drawn the first time
that iI put in (3 years ago). I got a nice one too, it'll make
book if I ever get it scored.
If you want to get drawn and have a great hunt, I would vote for
Wyoming!
Good Luck!
