Hunting & Fishing Speed goats!

Re: Speed goats!

Closer on the mileage for you to hit on Montana for some Antelope . my brother hunts there every year for deer, antelope, bear, elk . & they have a bunch of Antelope there . IF you put in for a specific unit on a Tag. I think it you can get a Tag for a 2nd antelope doe also .
Plus Montana lets you do Bow hunt for antelope & if you don't fill the Tag you just pay another 9-$ to fill it on your Rifle hunt .
OR. is Pretty fuckedup on there Bow & Rifle hunting & it's one or the other & you can not do both . plus Oregon is really fuckeup & treat Antelope like there an endangered species when OR. residents try/Wait for a Tag .

Re: Speed goats!

I sure as hell wouldnt waste money on hunting goats in Wyoming, they're all over the place and there is plenty of gooberment land.

Check the WY Fish and Game Web site to make sure you put in in time.

If you put in for area 7, let me know, I'll line you up on places to hunt near Newcastle.

Agreed...it will take at least two or three winters in a row like we're having right now to get our numbers back. I would do the Wyoming thing.

Re: Speed goats!

antelope is fantastic table fare, if you chase a rutting buck all over the country side and shoot him like that he can be pretty gamey tasting, but other than that I put them before deer for sure. Northern Wyoming suffered a massive winter kill off last year also and the number are 90 percent down easily. I would do some home work on the areas you are thinking about before you spend your money on a out of state tag. I believe it is $315.00 for wyo. tag

I agree! The only bad thing about antelope meat is there is not enough of it......grin!

Re: Speed goats!

So tell me what is the difference between him and any other member trying to get his 100 post in?? I will take this question.....NOTHING! There is NO DIFFERENCE between him and any other member! I see "nice stick, good luck with the sale" a hundred times a day on this forum! If that is not what is wanted then don't require a minimum post!!
BTW no warning? No, hey we would appreciate if you kept your post to a minimum on firearms bumps!
I am not the oldest member here by any means, not the newest either. We all got our post some how, and I think there is really no difference!

Never got around to taking one. </div></div>

If a lamb had sexy-time with a deer, it's bastard love-child would taste like speed-goat.

His post were not much different than the average "nice stick" post, except he was obviously doing it with much frequency. Show me an established member that has as many bumps in same time frame.

The rule is there protect us against scoundrels and I appreciate that. I think Mr.lowlight has said before that bitching about policy regarding the Classifieds section could result in closing of the section.

He only had 4 post the day he got banned. Two on the classifieds and then one or two in this section which is related to his post. I really don't get it I guess. We all got our first posts doing the same thing...
Obviously I know the guy, we have been friends for over ten years...I introduced him to this sight because we are both getting into long range shooting and really enjoy this forum. He is like me and has become addicted to the info, including the nice stuff to look at in the classified's section. He meant no harm. I know some of the guys on here are quick to point a finger and bad mouth a guy because he is new or does not have 6000 post. But if it were not for new members I think things would never be were they are. It would be one guy sitting behind his computer thinking what a great idea it would be to start a website.
Anyway, it is neither here nor their. I thought it was petty, with not so much as a PM to say "hey, please slow down your
post".
We frequent this site for the info and goodies both, I would hate to see good members leave because of finger pointing and knee jerk reactions.

So back to the Antelope info. I will keep him updated and I know he appreciates all of your info!

Re: Speed goats!

I feel my fellow Oregonians pain. I have been applying for speed goat in Or for 13 years without a draw.

To the OP (when you get back :), I have hunted Wy twice in the past 3 years and I will be going back again this year. It is a lot of fun and there are lots of goats so a guide is not really necessary. I would recommend paying a trespass fee over a guide since the land owner will many times even tell you which area of his land to focus your efforts. $100-$200 is much cheaper than a guide.

The Northern part of antelope country has been hit hard, Southern part I cant speak for. They did have a season, but everyone I know hunted the Northern part of the state and said they probably should have gone easier on them last year.

Good news is, winter only just showed up here in the last couple days! So hopefully they'll have a better year this year, but ND is gonna need several really good years in a row to rebound.
 
Re: Speed goats!

I have hunted the Buffalo Wyoming area quite a few times and have had success every time. Check out the Wyoming Game & Fish site and check the areas available. Pay attention to the fact that some public land is landlocked and you can't get to it as it is surrounded by private. Get the most current BLM map of the area. These are as valuable as your weapon. Not to mention they help you from trespassing fines.

As mentioned you don't need an outfitter IMHO. Just some good optics and shooting sticks. Plant your butt and glass the sage. Most times you see dust coming your way, speedgoats. After a couple of hours just slowly move to another area and you'll eventually hook up.

It's an addiction for sure. I love speedgoat burgers.
 
Re: Speed goats!

I'm planning a DIY WY pronghorn hunt this year. Should be a ton of fun!! I spoke with a rancher yesterday and they said the winter has been rough (according to the local biologist) so it could be more challenging this year. Still, there are a TON of goats out there.

It's been about the warmest winter here in 15 years I would say so I don't know where the rough part is coming from. Still tons of them around my parts.
 
Re: Speed goats!

Ya Newcastle is only about 90 miles by road and even shorter by the way a crow flies so it is pretty close to me. Been 40 degrees most days all Winter. Only a handful of days below zero and not much snow this year.
