Here are three reasons to book your hunt today.
1. Antelope are Unique and Extraordinary
Antelope are an extraordinary species and totally unique in the world of North American ungulates. Not actually an antelope, the American pronghorn is unrelated to anything else. Their distinct white, brown and black markings make them one of North America’s most beautiful big game animals. Capable of running exceptionally fast with speeds clocked well over 50 miles per hour, they are only second in land speed to the cheetah.
Taking part in a Wyoming antelope hunt is a thrilling experience, hunting this exceptional animal. The rifle antelope season is a spot and stalk game. If a group of antelope sees a hunter stopping in a vehicle or approaching on foot, they will quickly spook. Utilizing breaks in the terrain and carefully stalking within shooting distance is an absolute necessity. This makes a rifle antelope hunt an exciting experience.
2. Soak in Wyoming’s Incredible Scenery and Test Your Skills
It probably comes as no surprise that you’ll be hunting antelope in open country. But what might be surprising is just how conducive it is to stalking with a rifle. At first glance, Wyoming antelope country might seem flat and featureless. But you’ll soon realize that the terrain here has a surprising amount of topography. Sagebrush coulees, deep draws, hills and folds in the landscape make great places for game to hide – and they are also great for planning a stalk.
An antelope might seem like a small target at 300 yards. And that’s because they are. Antelope are small in stature, standing little more than three feet at the shoulder and less than five feet long from chest to rump. From the top of its back to the bottom of its brisket, an antelope buck might be less than 15 inches. That means the vital area is usually less than nine inches in diameter.
With that in mind, don’t skimp on rifle practice. You want to arrive on an antelope hunt with complete confidence in your weapon and your optics. Ideally, you’ll be comfortable shooting out to 300 yards and shooting consistent groups inside that small vital window.
When you practice with your rifle, make sure you spend time practicing with your bipod or any other accessories you intend to use. Once your rifle is sighted in, get off the bench rest and spend some time practicing in more realistic positions.
