With several thousand antelope tags offered annually, Wyoming is the best state for antelope hunting opportunity and overall harvest of the Western states. Wyoming is also a good state for tag numbers, or the number of antelope bucks entered into the Boone and Crockett record book. Opportunity is available for both trophy hunters and opportunity hunters. Like other states, the areas that have the biggest bucks are more difficult to draw taking several preference points to pick up a tag. These harder-to-draw areas have a legitimate chance to harvest a buck that goes over 80” B&C. There are also areas across the state that have opportunity to take a representative buck and have a great hunt, regardless of score. The challenge with antelope hunting in Wyoming is private land creating access issues. Most of the private ranches have access with a small fee if you ask for permission.
