Dakota:
I have another source which I dont want to make it public but I have gone to this place many of times. It is around the Recluse area in Unit 17. The person charges $500 per antelope. It use to be $350 but I heard he bumped it up a couple of years ago. If this is something of interest, PM me and I will give you his information.
I have been wanting to find PUBLIC land as well so I can do a DIY hunt, but based on local responses, it seems Private land is the way to go. When I was there last time, I went to check out public land a little north of Recluse and it also appeared that all the antelope was on private land. I really dont understand why because the public and private land were basically side by side each other.
BTW, you will be able to shoot your 3 antelope bucks in 1 day.
If you were on the public land the first few days of the season you would understand why the antelope move off it real fast . Between people camping on the small quarter sections and the droves of circling trucks , the goats see more people in them first few days then the whole rest of the year.
