Son had a tag for Unit 61 last year. A very neat place, but being drilled like crazy. Lots of public land. The winter before was very harsh. Still lots of animals.

We only had limited time, but in four hard days, looked over hundreds of bucks and did not find one that we estimated would be over 75". Son has shot a lot of nice critters, so he went home with his tag in his pocket. With more time to scout, we may have lucked out and found that whopper.

Time to scout is the most important thing with pronghorn in a state like WY. A big buck or two exists in most every unit, but plan on doing a lot of looking before you find that really big one. Or, just get a good streak of luck and he might be the first one you see.

Happy Hunting.
