Draws are getting ready to start.
I'll probably do a solo WY antelope hunt. I've been wanting to get back and try bowhunting them. I'd even done the research for a unit last year but ended up not putting in for it do to time constraints. I'll stick with that same unit because It'll give me a chance to scout an elk unit I want to draw in the next couple of years. I'll fly into Denver and rent an SUV for a week, pick-up a ground blind, stove fuel and some groceries. I'll pack my backpacking gear to keep luggage to a minimum and truck camp for the week on a trout stream just inside the national forest that occupies some of the unit. Of course, I'll have a fly rod with me.
I'll also try to draw a second choice mule deer tag for the area. It looks like I have about a 10% chance of drawing one. If so, I'll extend my stay to catch the first bit of the season. But, my emphasis will be on antelope and not deer.
This could all change in the next couple months, but it's a start.
What's everyone's plans for 2018?
