Wyoming pronghorn is in my 3 year plan. I lived just outside of Casper when I was in kindergarden. I don't remember a whole lot about living out there except the mountains and the pronghorn.
Is it hard to get so much as a decent antelope? I never did it and dont have any idea where to start , except for Wyoming.
Depends what you call "decent". I just got home from a drive to the airport in Gillette, about an hour each way on RT90. Each way I saw roughly 500 antelope, they are grouped up so seeing them 50 at a time is kinda cool!

I'm not as experienced as some here but have taken 6-7 over the past few years. Wyoming is a great state to hunt pronghorn because there are lots of them and I believe there are ample places to hunt. You might reach out to the Wyoming Fish & Game and get some information about public hunting areas. If you are looking for something more than public access and a DIY hunt, there are lots of really good outfitters that can get you in position for a good animal.
New Mexico is another state that has great numbers of animals and there are some really big ones there. Hope this helps.
Thanks, 65Jeffrey, that is very decent . I only hunt public land and that would be a nice trophy for me. What unit was it?

Regarding suppressors on game, my only experience is what I saw Monday and what my hunting partner saw that same day. When the shot broke, the animals moved around a bit but did not spook. My hunting partner had his goat on the ground and thought he was going to have to shoot again but could not due to the mule deer walking all around the downed pronghorn. In both cases, the animals seemed to not be aware of danger or sense from what direction it came. These were pronghorns that had been hunted and were pretty skittish.
This behavior is what I have observed in South Africa when my friend's suppressed 270 Win was used.
