Wyoming Antelope

If you are still looking for something to do this fall, or if antelope is already on the radar and you haven’t pulled the trigger on a hunt let me tell you about a great opportunity for this upcoming season. This year in Wyoming there has been a ton of talk about the horrible winter conditions at high elevations in the western part of the state, while these high country areas have been hit pretty hard it is on the other end of the spectrum for the eastern part of the state throughout the plains. 

The word on the street from all of the outfitters with boots on the ground is that this will be one of the best years for Wyoming antelope in recent history, if you talk to any of them on the eastern part of the state, heck anyone on the front range of the Rockies for that matter they will all say the same thing. This is as mild of a winter as I can remember out this way, almost as if we never got one, the temperatures have been warm, the new green growth is way ahead of schedule and the antelope have a jump start on horn growth. When you add up those factors with the fact that there was so many accessible food sources with the mild winter, I think the outlook is very promising on big antelope bucks for the 2017 fall!

Why Wyoming?

Wyoming Antelope hunts are fast paced, extremely high success hunts that all can enjoy, they are a great introduction to western big game hunting whether you are a seasoned hunter or someone looking into a hunt for hunter who is just beginning their hunting career.

Apply for Colorado’s Limited-Entry Big Game Tags

When it comes to big game hunting, Colorado is often at the forefront of every sportsman’s mind. With its diverse landscapes, from the iconic Rocky Mountains to the expansive eastern plains, Colorado offers a range of hunting opportunities for both residents and non-residents. While some tags can be acquired over the counter, many of the premier hunting opportunities in Colorado are found through its highly competitive draw system. This is why you need to apply and build valuable preference points in Colorado!

Deadline to Apply: April 7, 2026. Draw Post Date: Early June (staggered by species). WTA TAGS Species:…
Wyoming’s Preference Point Deadline Is Approaching: October 31

Wyoming’s Preference Point Deadline Is Approaching: October 31

Preference Point Deadline: October 31, 2025

The deadline to purchase Wyoming preference points is October 31. If WTA is already managing your TAGS applications, you’re all set. If not, don’t miss the chance to secure points this year. It’s the perfect time to talk with a TAGS consultant to start a new portfolio or grow your existing one.

Wyoming’s system is unique. Unlike other states, you don’t automatically receive a preference point if you’re unsuccessful in the draw. Instead, you must log in after July 1 and purchase your points separately. Building points is critical if you want a shot at drawing a Wyoming tag. Over-the-counter opportunities are a thing of the past. Today, only 25% of non-resident tags are issued randomly. The other 75% go to applicants with the highest point totals.

If you want to hunt big game in Wyoming, building preference points isn’t optional…it’s essential.

While preference points are an investment in the future, don’t let that keep you from starting now. While Wyoming has units that require 18+ points, there are also good opportunities to hunt sooner. There are elk, deer, and antelope hunts that can be drawn with 0–3 points. Think about it this way—the more points you have, the more options you have.

Serious hunters know that Montana is home to some of North America’s most coveted species: Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep, Shiras moose, mountain goat, and antelope. The key to unlocking these dream hunts is building points, and the deadline to secure your bonus point for this year is September 30.

Montana squares bonus points in its draw system, and hunters with more points gain a significant advantage in the draw. If you’ve ever dreamed of chasing a record bull, a giant ram, or a heavy-horned buck in Montana, strategically building points will put you in the best position to find success in upcoming seasons.

Montana consistently produces exceptional trophy bulls, making elk the most sought-after species in the state. Archery permits are especially appealing, often requiring only 4–7 years to draw—a remarkably short time period compared to other western states. Rifle permits can often be drawn with a similar point investment, though trophy quality is slightly lower on average. Many of these hunts take place on expansive private ranches, providing hunters with excellent opportunities and high success rates.
