Not sure you really need a guide. Most units have plenty of antelope - its just a matter of getting near a good one - and knowing your looking at a good one.

What are your expectations as far as trophy size?? You can probably do pretty good on a unit for a average buck, or another option is pay a trespass fee to hunt on private, sometimes the private will hold better quality - not always but in the unit I hunt it does. Lots of options - lots of fun!!

Call Deb and Jeff Smith out of Sundance. I worked for them the fall of 01 and had a super time with them. They run a wonderful outfit.

Tell em hello from me.

There outfits name is 7-J Outfitters.

I have used Ross Adney from Beaver Creek Outfitters in Dayton,Wyoming he is a really good guy to hunt with and is very resonably priced. I would check him out

7-J is first class! We hunted with Jeff and Deb's son Mike in November and had a great time!

Give Ward Anderson a call. He runs Antelope outfitters out of Gillette. My dad and I just hunted with him and we had a great time. We both killed great antelops in the upper 70's His prices are very good compared to others. He has great quality and alot to choose from. He will go above and beyond to make sure your hunt is one you will never forget. Not trying to bash here but I have heard some bad things about Jef and Deb Smith of 7J outfitters. Dont get me wrong they kill some great animals and I even almost booked with them but I have heard from a reliable source that they have been caught tresspassing on several occasions with one of the big time TV hunters that they have in camp every year. If you want a great hunt call Ward. His websight is www.antelopeoutfitters.com tell him Joel Biltz From Indiana sent you.

Thanks guys for the info. Being from South Carolina I know nothing about antelope hunting but am looking foward to it. What about Table Mountain Outfitters?

Still say you may not need an outfitter. I paid a $200 trespass fee to hunt 20,000 acre ranch and ended up killing a buck that gross scored 81 3/8 B&C. Which for a gumby like me on his 2nd hunt is pretty good I'd say. If not for the weather (snow) I could have gotten better since there were better bucks I couldn't get to.
Just a thought - nothing againt outfitters by the way just seems with the amount of antelope in Wyoming its more of an access thing than anything in some units. And knowing a good buck from a really good buck.

Tom Kessel, Hiland Outfitters. He has a terrific setup near Medicine Bow with tons of antelope.

Without going into detail in a word...... NO.

As oregonmuley has stated, you really don't need an outfitter for antelope. If you are dead set on an outfitter, I know a very a good one.

It would have been appropriate to send the OP a private message about your gripe with Table Mountain.
I happen to know the owners well and they're great people who run a very respectable outfit.
I'm guessing you haven't used their services, seeing you're a resident of Wyoming, so that makes you a disgruntled ex-guide,their competition or both.
Remember this is a public forum.Please don't respond with details either.
